Bournemouth Little Theatre Club Their Theatre Jameson Road, Winto May 2005 The production was polished and businesslike, which demonstrated the wealth of knowledge and experience contained within the company. The director, Tom Swadling, well understood that a farce must move at a cracking pace or it ceases to be funny, and he never allowed the repartee to flag. When the two George Maitlands finally came face to face the fight that ensued was pure pantomime slapstick, and the audience was in stitches. Judging by the sounds the bodies made hitting the deck, they will certainly have some bruises by the end of the week. I did find some of the gags rather laboured, but that was in the writing, and certainly not the fault of this excellent cast. I came out of the theatre with a lighter tread and a smile on my face, and that is what it’s all about. Carolyn White. Courtesy of the Bournemouth Daily Echo
