What better way to celebrate the festive season than with a rip roaring belly laugh?
Canberra Rep’s swansong for 2009 is a chaotic, infectious and hilarious farce by
Ray Cooney titled It Runs in the Family.
Dr David Mortimore is about to give a speech that will probably earn him a knighthood. But the arrival of an old flame—together with her 18-year-old son, the product of their relationship all those years ago—means that David is forced into an escalating series of cover-ups and inventions that involve a police sergeant, most of the costumes for the Hospital’s Christmas pantomime, and a large number of matrons.
Directed by Walter Learning, the cast is a who’s who of Canberra comedy including Ian Croker, Peter Holland, Tony Falla, Brandon Martignago, Josh Hogan, John Honey, Ian Hart and Steph Roberts.
