| Style | One-act farce. A fast moving one-act comedy full of mistaken and doubly mistaken identities. Contains mild swearing. |
| Synopsis | We are fully aware of who Tom, Sylvia, Richard and Harriet are - or is it Harry? - but they are not. We relish their confusion as the merriment gathers speed and they struggle to come to terms with who's who and who is having an affair with whom. The appearance of the unintelligible Michael adds to the misunderstanding but eventually leads to realisation... |
