PLOT SUMMARY:

Classic farce and love story. After arriving in the Hereafter by mistake, Prizefighter Joe Pendleton is informed that his body has been cremated and he is sent back to earth as Farnsworth, a wealthy financier who is about to be murdered by his wife. Joe, as Farnsworth, can be "seen by the audience" but not by the other characters in the show - confusion and mayhem abound. Farnsworth disapproves of Joe's treatment of his body (and money), and raises a fuss to have it back. Trouble is - Joe is falling in love and is still not ready to go!

A dramedy about a group of American prisoners who embarrass and irritate their captors as they try to escape from a German prison camp, Bevan and Trzcinski's plot revolves around the escape of an American who will face serious punishment for sabotaging a train (as will the fellow prisoners who hide him!) Filled with moments of tension and light the show proves to be a tense thriller keeping the audience on its toes!
