This superb example of the British farce had them rolling in the aisles in London and New York. A taxi driver gets away with having two wives in different areas of London because of his irregular working schedule. Due to his performing a good Samaritan act he is made a minor celebrity.
Then complication is piled on complication as the cabby tries to keep his double life from exploding. You will question your own sanity as the various ploys to keep the two wives apart accelerate out of control and become almost surreal.
Playing to a sold out house of over 300 people, the ONSTAGE Theatre company WOWED the crowd in Columbus. Patrons came up to the stage after the show to congratulate and thank the cast personally for such a wonderful and fun evening. Comments after the show included...
"...the funniest show I've ever seen!"
"...the best show we've ever seen!"
"...my sides are still hurting from laughing so hard!"
"...you left all the other shows we've seen in the shade!"
Standing (L-R): JOEL CITTY, BRIAN JEPSON, HANS VENABLE
