THEATRE

See How They Run

Galloping in and out of the doors of an English vicarage are an American actor and actress, a cockney maid, an old maid, and four men in clergymen’s suits, presenting the problem of which is which. One in disguise is an escaped prisoner. A sedate bishop is aghast at all the goings-on and the trumped-up stories that are told to him. So swift is the action in this hysterical British farce that audiences are left exhausted with laughter.

Tickets: $25
