PUTNAM — Now that the holidays are over and the New England winter has settled in, everyone can use some laughter. The TNECT ‘s Bradley Playhouse on Front Street will present its first show of the 2013 season, the madcap British farce “No Sex Please… We’re British.” The play, written by Anthony Marriott and Alistair Foot, opens Feb. 1 and runs for three weekends.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16 and at 2 p.m. Feb. 3, 10 and 17. Tickets are $17 for adults and $14 for seniors and students.
Anyone who has ever tried to hide something unpleasant only to have it blow up in their face can relate to No Sex Please …We’re British. When a new bride sends a mail order for some Scandinavian glassware and what shows up is Scandinavian pornography, she, her bank manager husband and his assistant have to deal with a veritable flood of photographs, films and eventually girls. The matter is considerably complicated by her mother-in-law, her husband’s boss, a visiting bank inspector and the police superintendent.
The TNECT production of No Sex Please…We’re British is directed by Paul Neuhardt and assistant director Trish Young Neuhardt. Robert Latino is Peter, the husband, and Catie Botting is his wife, Frances. The hapless chief cashier, Brian, is played by David Smith. Sheila Harrington-Hughes is mother Eleanor and David Hopcroft appears as Peter’s boss Mr. Bromhead. Jim Weigel is the bank inspector and Don Gibbs plays the police superintendent. The cast is completed by Sharon Starr, Becky Proseus and Eric Moberg.
