125 - Key For Two (1995)
By JOHN CHAPMAN & DAVE FREEMAN
Harriet, a divorcee living in an elegant flat in Brighton, solves her financial problems by entertaining two married gentlemen callers on different days of the week. The scheme faces collapse when her friend Anne, whose marriage is tottering, arrives at the flat hotly pursued by her husband. One of Harriet's lovers is confined to Harriet's bed with a sprained ankle and the second lover turns up unexpectedly closely followed by two irate wives in search of itinerant husbands. The indescribable confusion that ensues builds to a rich complexity of mistaken identity splendidy farcical situations and a climax of comic wizardry.
124 - Lord Arthur Saville's Crime (1994)
Lord Arthur is to be married, and his future mother-in-law, who rather disapproves of him, gets a famous palmist to read his palm to discover any skeletons in his cupboard.
Warned by the fortune teller that he will commit a murder, Lord Arthur determines to do it before he marries.
This proves to be harder than he had thought and after a number of failed attempts, with the aid of a foreign anarchist and his faithful butler, Baines, a surprising revelation comes to light, which results in a satisfying if not an immediate happy ending.
(This was the first time we performed the play. We performed it for a second time in 2008)
