Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond
Writer John Maddison Morton
Director Henry Bell
Synopsis
The re-discovery of the wonderful world of Maddison Morton (1811-1891), precursor of The Goons and Monty Python, is, as Kenneth Tynan wrote in 1967, 'long overdue'. Gordon Craig thought him 'the funniest playwright that England ever had'. And Tynan thought him 'better than Feydeau'. Thwarted lovers, disgruntled uncles and a jam loving suitor are among the characters caught up in this array of farcical encounters. From Slasher and Crasher's efforts to prove themselves as brave and worthy men, to the bewildered Grimshaw and his besieged lodgings, these colourful comic capers add mayhem and merriment to our season.
