Overview

Based on a massively popular British sitcom, this riotously funny play is classic British sex farce. When Mildred and Ethel go off on a trip to Paris, leaving their husbands Pomfrey and George at home, the "mice will play". Egged on by the philandering Humphrey Pomfrey, George agrees to invite two charming young ladies over. You know already what happens, don't you? The wives come home prematurely, and hilarity ensues as the complications pile up.
