Hilarious Senior Production Perfect Antidote to January Blues

The antidote to the end of January blues was to be found in the Assembly Hall this week as the Senior Production of It Runs in the Family brought the house down!

Ray Cooney's comic masterpiece combines all the classic ingredients of a farce... frantic running in and out of doors, mistaken identities and frenetic costume changes, providing an evening's much-needed mad-cap entertainment and heartfelt belly-laughing from the audience!

The set was excellent too, with the window used to great comic effect and the working clock a reminder of the looming deadline of the Ponsonby Lecture on which Dr Mortimer's knighthood rests. The enthusiastic cast wonderfully conveyed the growing sense of chaos, with fabulous comic timing, Mr Crossman in a comedy wig and, one suspects, some unintentional bruising by the end of the two nights' performances!
