Out of Order at Gaslight

The Cambridge Repertory Society is back again!

First-time director, Steve McMurray, has assembled a talented cast of both new and familiar faces to deliver a fast-paced feast of fun and mayhem, called Out of Order.

This farce, by well-known English writer of farce, Ray Cooney, is set in a suite at the four-star Westminster Hotel, London, just around the corner from the House of Commons.

The play opens at around 8.30pm when Richard Willey MP, a junior minister in the Conservative Party, arrives with one of the opposition party’s junior secretaries.

He’s supposed to be at an allnight sitting in the House of Commons but just sitting is the last thing on his mind.

It is also the last thing that occurs as the body of a man trapped in the suite’s unreliable sash window is discovered.

Desperately trying to get out of what is turning into a sticky situation, Richard summons his trusty parliamentary private secretary, George Pigden, to sort things out.

George has to contend with difficult hotel staff and the unexpected appearances of his minister’s wife and the junior secretary’s jealous husband.

With the late arrival of Nurse Foster who has been nursing George’s invalid mother, things really come to a climax.

Brighten up the start of winter and visit the Gaslight Theatre to be entertained. The show opens June 10 and runs until June 14.

Tickets to the show are available from Paper Plus Cambridge and online at eventfinda.co.nz from May 13.
