Run For Your Wife

A classic British farce

The Queen’s Theatre, Hornchurch continues its 60th anniversary year with Ray Cooney’s classic British farce, Run for Your Wife, from 19 April – 18 May.

London cabby John Smith has two homes, two lives and two wives!

He’s been juggling Mary and Barbara for years, arousing EVERYTHING but suspicion.  But how long can he keep it up?

When a bump on the head lands John in casualty, his two addresses get mixed  up and he has a lot of explaining to do.

Crazy situations spiral out of control as John dodges prying police officers and members of the press whilst avoiding a head-on collision between two increasingly frustrated women.

This riotous romp of double lives and double entendres, belly laughs and bigamy was first performed in 1983 and starred Bernard Cribbins, it is still one of the most popular works by one of the finest writers of fast-paced farce Ray Cooney whose other West End hits include Funny Money and Caught in  the Net.

Sarah Mahony as his erm.. wife Barbara, Dan de Cruz as DS Troughton, James Earl Adair as DS Porterhouse, Simon Jessop as Stanley Gardner, Eliot Harper as Bobby Franklin and Niall Costigan as the newspaper reporter.
