...which is advertised as a mixture of “Fawlty Towers and Sex In the City” among many other famous comedic successes, has been delighting sold outcrowds since it opened this past weekend. The all-student cast manage to capture with inimitable wit the work of Ray Cooney, often regarded as the “greatest living English farceur.” Set in the illustrious Westminster Hotel, the play tells the story of what happens when junior minister of the British Parliament Mr. Richard Willey (Hugh Malone ’08) decides to participate...
