Fast and furious comedy in Oxford

SUMMER 1936 Chumpton-on-Sea, Somerset; newly married playboy Gerald Popkiss arrives alone at Rookery Nook without his wife Clara.

In the dead of night a beautiful woman flees from her tyrannical German step-father wearing only her dew-soaked pink silk pyjamas and begs Gerald to let her stay at Rookery Nook.

Touched by her innocence Gerald promises to help her. But how can he keep her hidden from Mrs Leverett the meddling maid of Rookery Nook?

The wild and wilful characters in Ben Travers' celebrated farce have delighted and entertained audiences for the last 80 years.
