Marian Thorncraft is looking forward to her honeymoon with new hubby, Tyler. She pictures someplace romantic, secluded and cozy. No sooner have her feet touched the ground after being carried over the threshold than she discovers her love nest is really a one-time mortuary! Graveside Manor, as the locals call it, has been abandoned for years, mainly due to the rumors of it being haunted. Cozy as a bat cave, it's about as secluded as Grand Central Station. A daffy maid shows up to clean the place and gets lost in the catacombs behind the walls. This goes unnoticed because Tyler is too busy ducking a female ghost with a hatchet, three high-school kids trying to set up a Halloween prank and his wise-cracking female editor who once had a crush on him. Throw in an absent-minded cop and the escaped lunatic he's looking for and the stage is set for a Honeymoon at Graveside Manor.
This play was excellent. All three performances delighted the audience. The set was a character of its own with all of the timely entrances and exits. Fun and entertaining.
A real crowd pleaser. Perfect Halloween fare. Zany parts with everyone getting a chance to shine. We love Pat Cook's plays. Always funny!
Honeymoon drew the loudest sustained laughter and applause we've experienced in 30 years thanks to Pat Cook's expert craftsmanship and the timing and delivery of our all-female cast who had a ball!
Audiences loved this show! Pat Cook has a knack for appealing to a broad audience range with clever and witty dialogue and good, tight stories.
Audience loved it! Lots of laughs! Still offers some challenging character roles!
Make sure timing of exits and entrances are near perfect. Enjoy the fun Scooby Doo type logic that this play has.
Make sure your doors are well attached! And make sure to coach your actors to "hold for laughter" because they'll definitely need to.
