Farce

Ray Cooney

5 m., 5 f., plus extras.

3 ints.

Mr. Cooney is truly the leading contemporary practitioner of a great theatrical tradition the sex farce. Two Into One is about nothing more than the hilarious attempts of a Member of Parliament to arrange a dalliance with a secretary for the P.M. in an out of the way little hotel. Unfortunately, he engages one of his aides to arrange the whole thing. The aide is something of a charming bumbler and he gets everything all mixed up. Also on hand are the pompously disapproving hotel manager, a venal ethnic waiter and a female Labour politician who crusades against pornography on the one hand, while on the other she is trying to lure the bumbling civil servant into bed! "It is a long time since I heard a theatre laughing with such uninhibited delight.... One can only marvel at the surrealist idiocy." Daily Telegraph. "Irrepressively inventive ... hilarious." Sunday Telegraph. "In the very mainstream of British farce, that giddy confection of mounting misunderstandings (sic) and naughty entanglements." London Daily Mail.

FEE: $75 per performance.
