WESTFIELD – Comedic confusion takes the stage as the Westfield Community Players conclude their season with the British farce See How They Run By Philip King.
Seventy-five years almost to the day when this play had its American premiere in Plainfield, the frenetic activities that roil a quiet English community still brings laughs as the antics unfold.
See How They Run is a high-spirited madcap story in the tradition of British comedy and farce. Mistaken identities, past loves and a little drink or two blend into a story full of physical comedy and laughs galore. When two old flames coincidentally meet up one September afternoon, they have a reunion that ignites everyone down the road of confusion, misidentification, and surprises-with an escaped prisoner getting involved.
This talented cast includes Ruth Kliwinsky, Timothy Mc Govern, Stephen A. Menella, Corrine Hower-Greene, Christie Storms, PaulArfanis, David Baker, Allan Gershenson and Jason W. Fuchs. The director is Bill Seesselberg, producer is Lois Stevens, and Ed Bontempo is stage manager and costumer.
