THE leap

Here it is: the ultimate moment from the play!

Extra Show!

Due to a large number of matinee bookings, there was an extra matinee on Sunday 8 November at 2pm. For this extra show, Sara Brown played the role of Barbara instead of Jenny Sharrock as Jenny couldn't get the time off work. Jenny is obviously a very valued and needed employee on the weekends!

Plot

The 1971 farce surrounds an assistant bank manager, Peter Hunter, who lives above his bank with his new bride Frances. When Frances innocently sends a mail order off for some Scandinavian glassware, what comes back is Scandinavian pornography. The two, along with the bank's frantic chief cashier Brian Runnicles, must decide what to do with the veritable floods of pornography, photographs, books, films and eventually girls that threaten to engulf this happy couple.

The matter is considerably complicated by the presence of Eleanor (Peter's mother), Mr. Bromhead (his boss), Mr. Needham (a visiting bank inspector), and Vernon Paul (a tipsy police superintendent).

With the help of the chief cashier, who is in way over his head, they manage to spin the most insane and deliciously funny web of mistaken identities, physical mishaps and hilarious complications, resulting in a true classic, side-splitting, high energy farce.

It was made into a movie in 1973 starring Ronnie Corbett as Brian and Arthur Lowe as Mr Bromhead. It was also produced by Wyong Drama Group eighteen years ago back in 1991, directed by Maxine Morris.

This is one of the longest running comedies ever, both in London and on Broadway, so don’t miss your chance to see it right here in Wyong. From the comfort of the raked seating, or with a bunch of friends at a table, this show will have you in stitches !
