Thark

**Matinee and Evening Performances Available**

Things are looking up for sporting, man-about-town, Sir Hector Benbow . . .

Not only has he finally managed to offload his gloomy country pile, Thark, onto an unsuspecting buyer, but he’s also caught the eye of the beautiful Cherry Buck. And while his wife is away visiting friends, Hector plans a romantic liaison à deux.

Unfortunately, Lady Benbow returns home unexpectedly - and Hector has to act fast. Helped by Ronny, his plucky nephew, Cherry is passed off as Mrs. Frush, the new owner of Thark - only for the real Mrs. Frush to suddenly turn up, complaining that the house she bought in good faith turns out to be haunted . . .

Hector manages to talk his way out of the, er, marital misunderstanding. But it seems that the only way to convince Mrs. Frush not to renege on the house purchase is for the Benbows to decamp to Thark - and prove that it is untainted by the supernatural.

But Thark – a very strange house, inhabited by an even stranger butler and several things that go bump in the night – has other plans . . .

Ben Travers’s classic 1927 Aldwych farce, in a glorious new version by Clive Francis, is fast-paced, rip-roaring and hilariously inventive: perfect Summer entertainment! If you enjoyed See How They Run! or Noises Off, don’t miss this!
