ONE FOR THE POT on Hale Centre Theatre’s Jewel Box Stage defies description, but ultimately it is a madcap comedic romp filled with mistaken identities and pure effervescent entertainment.

World renown British actor/playwright Ray Cooney will be performing the zany farce Cash on Delivery, written by his son Michael Cooney, on the mainstage of the El Portal in Noho December 3-20.  Cooney performed Out of Order at the El Portal in 2001, and was a tremendous hit. In our conversation Cooney, who was bestowed the honor of OBE (Order of the British Empire) by the Queen, and wife Linda talk about the play, and among other topics, theatre and its importance in our world right now. Linda is a landscape painter and former actress, and her work will be exhibited in the El Portal lobby during the run of the play and on to January 1, 2016.

For the past eight years, it has become a summer tradition for Hedgerow Theatre to stage a Ray Cooney farce. This summer will be no exception as Producing Artistic Director Penelope Reed brings One For the Pot, one of Cooney's first plays (co-written with Tony Hilton) to the Hedgerow Theatre stage, July 10-Aug. 30.
