Summary

A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, A Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp pulling the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man's eternal love affair with... golf.

History
Ken Ludwig’s A Fox on the Fairway premiered on 19 October 2010 at Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA, directed by John Rando. It was subsequently produced by The George Street Playhouse, directed by David Saint.
