Attic Playhouse Presents IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY, 1/29-3/14

The Attic Playhouse presents 'It Runs in the Family' by Ray Cooney to be staged at the Attic Playhouse from January 29 to March 14.

Britain's master of the modern farce penned this fresh, split-second-timed romp. Set in the doctor's common room of a London hospital, Dr. David Mortimore is rehearsing his speech for the prestigious Ponsonby Lecture, which almost certainly will propel his career into the stratosphere. In bursts an old flame, hotly pursued by her (their?) son, who is hotly pursued by the police. With the reluctant help of his sidekick Hubert, David begins piling lie on top of lie to protect his career, and everything spirals completely out of control. A delightfully frantic farce filled with snappy dialogue and non-stop comedic antics.

Performances: Fridays & Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. (except no performance 1/31/10)
