 PENETANGUISHENE
- The third production of the season at the King's Wharf Theatre is sure
to leave everyone in stitches. The uproarious British farce Not Now, Darling
entertains audiences for three weeks starting July 19th.
Written by celebrated British playwright Ray Cooney, Not Now, Darling
follows the hilarious antics of Arnold Crouch and Gilbert Bodley, a pair
of businessmen operating an elegant fur salon in London. Crouch struggles
to hold the business together while Bodley spends his time mastering the
art of seduction.
Scandal ensues when Bodley attempts to win the affections of his newest
would-be mistress Janie by selling her mobster husband Harry an expensive
mink at a fraction of its real worth. Unfortunately, Harry buys the mink
for his svelte secretary, Sue, instead. The plot thickens for Bodley and
Crouch when Janie strips in the salon and refuses to leave without her
promised mink. The laughter continues with the arrival of several more
characters, resulting in a hysterical spectacle as the secrets and scandal
unravel.
"Not Now, Darling continues Drayton Entertainment's proud summer
tradition of presenting witty, wacky, and wonderful farces," says
Artistic Director Alex Mustakas. "Its outrageous combination of philandering
husbands, mistaken identities and scantily clad women make for non-stop
laughs. It's sure to be one of the funniest shows of the season."
Under the direction of Marcia Kash , the production stars perennial audience
favourite Bryan Foster as Arnold Crouch ( Boeing-Boeing, Run For Your
Wife, A Flea in Her Ear and many more) as well as Robin Ward as the scheming
Gilbert Bodley.
Maria Heidler and Nicholas Rice are featured as Mr. and Mrs. Frencham,
with the zany Karen Sweet as Miss Tipdale and Stephen Fielden as Harry
McMichael. Drayton newcomers Katherine East (Janie McMichael), Jason Mitchell
(Mr. Lawson), Miranda Plant (Miss Whittington), Anne Ross (Sue Lawson)
and Mary Long (Maude Bodley) round out the talented cast.
