Set on a single June morning in 1923 in a quaint family-owned cottage in the English countryside, about ninety minutes outside London, the play tips its hat to Noël Coward and the classic sex comedies of the past while adding a decidedly modern, feminist twist. Slamming doors, physical comedy, hilarious twists, and a steady stream of surprising revelations abound. Three couples explode in a farcical comedy of manners by Sandy Rustin.
… sidesplitting screwball comedy … a fiercely funny play that’s firing on all cylinders, with Rustin’s excellent script.
a romantic and (not quite) murderous comedy.
… a naughty romp … Amid the old-fashioned trappings, Rustin nestles a welcome modern sensibility to the plot’s skirmishes of the sexes …
… positively delightful … frothy and effervescent.
