PUTNAM — The Theatre of Northeastern Connecticut at the Bradley Playhouse will open the 2015 Theater Season with Ray Cooney’s hilarious British farce ” Caught in the Net
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 30, 31 and Feb, 6, 7, 13 and 14 and at 2 p.m. Feb. 1, 8 and 15.
Tickets are $19 for adults and $15 for seniors and students.
Reservations may be made with a major credit card online at www.thebradleyplayhouse.org or by calling 860-928-7887. T
The TNECT production of Caught in the Net is co-directed by Kathleen Atwood and Scott Guerin. Keith Murphy is the stunt coordinator. Jonathan Demers appears as bigamist taxi driver John and Stanley is played by David Ring. The son, Gavin, is Jacob Solomon and daughter Vicki is Madeleine Hutchins. Carol Alderson and Robin Lofquist play the two wives and Jim Weigel appears as Stanley’s Dad.
“Caught in the Net” is the sequel to Cooney’s equally funny “Run for Your Wife,” but it stands on its own – audiences will not be confused if they missed the first story. As with any Ray Cooney farce, if something can go wrong it will go berserk. Bradley theater goers may remember two of his other shows that were presented at the Playhouse, It Runs in the Family and Out of Order.
Bigamist taxi driver John Smith has been keeping two families in different parts of London, blissfully unaware of each other. Now, however, his son from one marriage and daughter from the other have met on the internet. Intrigued after discovering their fathers are both taxi drivers named John Leonard Smith and the same age, they decide they have to meet. When John finds out about their plan, he enlists his boarder, Stanley, in an elaborate plot to keep them apart. Throw in two confused wives and Stanley’s cantankerous father, who thinks they are on holiday at a guest house, and the situation spirals out of control as John is forced to invent bigger and bigger lies.
