Synopsis

Customer Reviews
Very successful. The fast-paced shorter version gave the students a manageable challenge. The audience loved the physical comedy. It's a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about this over-the-top farce. A huge hit!
This play worked beautifully for my sheltered theatre production. Our mix of English learners, special-ed students, at-risk youths, and mentor students had a wonderful time telling the story on stage. They really enjoyed all the laughter that came with it.
Hints, Tips, and Tricks
Get the Frank Dunlop & Jim Dale production book, too. It's got interviews and the original blocking. Very interesting and helpful!
