See How They Run

As a Russian escapee holds an American actress hostage and demands money, she calmly replies, "I'll write you a check." No, this is not the latest Bond movie, it's an excerpt from a high-spirited English farce, See How They Run. Suspenseful yet humorous, this rib-tickling play will have audiences exhausted from laughing until their sides ache. Galloping in and out of four entrances of the vicarage are an American soldier and a former actress, a sarcastic Cockney maid who has seen too many movies, an old maid who "touched alcohol for the first time," four men in clergyman suits (one of which is an escaped convict), and a sedate and somewhat befuddled Bishop who is aghast at all these goings on. Once the confusion begins, the play becomes a hilarious non-stop crescendo of laughter.
