Ira Levin's thriller might have been written for the Belmont's black box Studio Theater.

When a mystery novelist's foray into romantic fiction starts to play out in real life, with a death as the cherry on top, what is he to do? Nothing goes as you might expect, even when plot points are predictible.

The classic farce comes back for laughs at Oyster Mill Playhouse

The Oyster Mill Playhouse will present How The Other Half Loves, by Alan Ayckbourn, November 6-22 at the theater located at 1001 Oyster Mill Rd in Camp Hill, PA. Curtain is at 8 p.m. for all Thursday, Friday, and Saturday shows, and 2 p.m. for Sunday matinees.

Oyster Mill Playhouse closed its season with a hysterical British bedroom farce, one of Oyster Mill's strongest suitsRay Cooney is England's king of the bedroom farce, best known for his RUN FOR YOUR WIFE and for IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY. But his late 60's-early 70's set MOVE OVER MRS. MARKHAM may be funnier than either of those. It's definitely the sort of play that should be on the Oyster Mill Playhouse stage where, fortunately, it has been now. Oyster Mill has the configuration for farce, as well as intimate seating allowing audiences to miss no hilarious move, much less the necessary entrances and exits for the best farces.

Oyster Mill Playhouse presents the comedy, Move Over, Mrs. Markham. It is written by Ray Cooney and John Chapman and produced with special arrangement by Samuel French, Inc.
