Int.

Britain's master farceur ( Two Into One, Run For Your Wife, et al. ) is at it again. Set in a hospital, It Runs in the Family contains the usual assortment of farcical nuts running in and out of doors mistaking everybody for someone else, as Dr. Mortimore tries to fend off a paternity suit, an ex wife, a punkish daughter and various other lunatics so that he may, at last, deliver the Ponsonby Lecture in an international conference.

"My glasses steamed up with laughter.... A must for the bruised in spirit and the young at heart." Sunday Times, London .

"Tickles the funny bones quite shamelessly." Sunday Express, London .

"As in every good farce from Ben Travers to Joe Orton, the location becomes a madhouse filled with an epidemic of unbridled lunacy." London Financial Times.

FEE: $75 per performance.
