Let Sleeping Wives Lie
Written by Harold Brooke and Kay Bannerman
Directed by Tom Roberts
7 – 10 October 1970
A tangle about substitute marital partners when a man and a woman are trying to impress their American boss during a “job test” weekend at a Brighton hotel, is in the fast and furious tradition of farce, with plenty of invention, not startling but usually effective, and a rapidly changing series of impossible situations that come across with a crazy plausibility in the midst of the turmoil.
