Run for your Wife

written by
Written by Ray Cooney

directed by Mackey Skinner

Description
RUN FOR YOUR WIFE is a typical British Farce. The play deals with a house of cards that comes crashing down around a London cabbie (John) who is married to two women (Mary and Barbara) at the same time. Each lives on opposite ends of the town and neither knows about the other's existence.
It all comes undone when the cabbie, an ordinary chap, tries to rescue an elderly woman from the clutches of three muggers and winds up getting clobbered in the head for his troubles. The incident and ensuing treatment at a local hospital throw John's meticulously crafted schedule off-kilter with increasingly devastating effects.
John's dilemma is not helped much when an upstairs neighbor, Stanley Gardner, who gets the truth out of John tries to help, only to make matters worse. Add two police detectives, one sexually charged wife, one play-by the-rules wife, and a gay dressmaker and you have the elements of chaos, double entendre, and innuendo.
