Whose Wives Are They Anyway?
Characters: 3 male, 5 femaleComedy
Interior
The Ashley Maureen Cosmetics Company has been sold and two of its vice presidents, David McGrachen and John Baker, have planned a weekend off before the new C.E.O. arrives on Monday. With their wives safely off on a shopping spree in New York City, they check into The Oakfield Golf and Country Club intending to "golf their brains out." They unexpectedly encounter their new boss, Ms. Hutchison, and she insists on meeting the wives, commenting blithely "no one who went golfing for a weekend without his wife would ever work for me." So ... David and John have to produce wives. John persuades Tina, the hotel's sexy receptionist, to play the role of his wife, but the only one who can pretend to be David's wife is John. Inevitably everything goes wrong as John moves in and out of bedrooms, changing from male to female at a frantic pace. Hilarious chaos ensues when the hotel phone system goes on the blink, Tina has too much champagne and can't keep her clothes on, and, yes, the real wives arrive

3.5- Silly farce that would be really fun to see on stage.

An absolutely HILARIOUS farce! I played Tina and was a lot of fun! (Spoiler Alert! Especially where I came out on stage in my underwear!) A lot of humor and laughs! A great show to put on and a great read!

Very good farce in the lines of sexual innuendo, mistaken circumstances, and men dressed as women... very fast-paced and requires well-executed timing and choreography. Set requires some stage space, so might be tough for smaller theaters. Excels at what it is... 4+ stars
