March 19, 2011 Run For Your Wife, play by Ray Cooney. London cab driver John
Smith has two wives, two lives and a very precise schedule for juggling them
both. With one wife at home in Streatham and another at home in Wimbledon,
and occupants in the upstairs flat at the latter location, trouble brews
when Smith is mugged and ends up in hospital. Both of his addresses surface,
causing both the Streatham and Wimbledon police to investigate. Forced to
explain himself to his wives and two suspicious police officers, things get
even more intriguing. Performed by the Huntington Beach Play House, in its
49th year of performances. Location: 7111 Talbert Ave., Huntington Beach,
CA. Box office: (714) 375-0696. hbph.com
