Performance at Newport Playhouse "Run For Your Wife"

John Smith has two wives, two lives, and a very precise schedule for juggling them both. When Smith is mugged and ends up in the hospital, both of his addresses surface, causing both the Streatham and Wimbledon police to investigate the case. Smith becomes hopelessly entangled in his attempts to explain himself to his two wives and two suspicious police officers, with help from his lazy upstairs neighbor in Wimbledon.

 

Cabaret

After the show, it's back to your original table, or you may enjoy the view from the bar, where the dining room has been transformed into a delightful Cabaret where company members continue to entertain with songs and laughter.
