The brand-new, devilishly funny farce from Rumpus Theatre (As It Comes, The Tell-Tale Heart, Raffles).

When Jo Smith arrives for an audition with director Vyvian Jones, it turns out she's actually been invited to the theatre by his twin brother Beverley, who wants her to impersonate her own twin sister Fiona. This is a terrible rouse to hide Beverley and Fiona's affair from both his fiancé and his twin.

It all starts to unfurl when the real Fiona, Sons of Satan Association member Vyvian, and his identical triplet brother, the police officer arrive. 

The stage is set for a truly fast-moving madcap comedy of multiple mistaken identities.

The Comedy of Terrors is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. concordtheatricals.co.uk

Full marks for originality... impressive
The Flaneur
A farcical and hilarious couple of hours... fabulous
Bracknell News
If you haven’t seen it, do. If you have, see it again; it's just as funny and ingenious second time around. I was worn out with laughing by the end... written under the influence of happy juice!
