COACH HOUSE THEATRE, MALVERN

When everyone is up to something – how is anything ever going to get done…?

Confusion, mis-communication, deceit, chaos and lots and lots of frilly bits, in Oliver Goldsmith’s classic farce.

With everyone pursuing their own agendas, a practical joker in their midst, and no one entirely sure who is up to what, will the lovers ever get together? And which lovers?

Running time: approx. 2hrs 40mins (including a 20 minute interval)
