Theatre goers urged to Run for your Wife

MUSE Productions will return to the Oakwood Arms next week with Run for your Wife, a classic, well-regarded farce.
The comedy centres around the travails of a London cabbie, who has been successfully juggling a double life until an accident derails his meticulous schedule.
The audience are made privy to his secret in the opening scene as two concerned wives simultaneously call the police regarding the whereabouts of their missing husbands and describe the same John Smith.
The stage is then set for high jinks and mayhem as John (who is played by Chris Rowley) dashes from one home to the other, struggling to keep his two carefully orchestrated worlds from colliding.
As he endeavours to cover his tracks, his lazy but likeable neighbour Stanley (played by Chris Willetts) becomes his unwitting accomplice and the preposterous scenarios that ensue make for two hours of non-stop action and light-hearted fun that will have you wondering what can possibly happen next.
The play was written by Ray Cooney and the laughs are fuelled by slapstick, physical comedy, double entendre and cases of mistaken identity, which cross all boundaries with virtually no holds barred.
Also on stage are Kathleen Browne and Aideen Clancy as the unsuspecting wives, Martin McNelis and Eoin Sheedy as the police officers investigating, while other actors include Eoghan Rice and Helen White. It will run from next Tuesday to Saturday at 8pm nightly in the Oakwood Arms.
Muse Productions was founded last year by Ted Germaine, Anne Germaine, Martin McNelis and Clare McNeilis. It aims to provide a platform for all types of theatre to be performed in Shannon, with an emphasis on utilising local talent and providing entertainment for people in Shannon.
