Our next play up, June 6-23 is “Move Over Mrs. Markham”, a classic British farce, written by Ray Cooney and John Chapman. This play is having a revival here at our theatre – and also coincidentally in England just outside of London. What follows is an excerpt of the article linked below.
“RAY Cooney is thoroughly enjoying himself. Now 85, the master of farce is back at the Mill at Sonning — one of his two favourite theatres — directing a revival of his 1969 play Move Over Mrs Markham.
With a cast of four men and five women, the comedy was co-written with the late John Chapman, who Cooney got to know when he was cast in Chapman’s play Dry Rot at the Whitehall Theatre in 1956.”
