Harwood Prairie Playhouse presents THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY, by Ken Ludwig, the playwright who brought us the hit comedies Lend Me a Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo. The Fox on the Fairway is a tribute to the great English farces of the 1930's and 1940's. It takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top shenanigans, it's a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brother's classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man's eternal love affair with...golf.
