MICHAEL COONEY’S CASH ON DELIVERY
A Side-Splitting Farce of Mistaken Identity and Mayhem
Dates: February 5th – April 4th
Mention the name Cooney and your mind instantly races to uproarious comedy and belly fulls of laughs And you are absolutely spot on as this razor sharp farce is written by none other than the famous screenwriter son of The Mill’s favourite - Ray Cooney!
Michael Cooney’s CASH ON DELIVERY is a fast-paced, whirlwind of a play that has all the ingredient's for rib-tickling hilarity. Eric Swan (aided by his Uncle George and unbeknown to his wife, Linda) has pocketed thousands of pounds through fraudulent DSS claims. When Norman Bassett (the lodger) opens the door to Mr Jenkins, the DSS Inspector, deceptive mayhem follows — as do the undertaker, bereavement counsellor, psychiatrist, Norman's fiance, a corpse, the ominous Ms Cowper and a rather rebellious washing machine!
Chaos erupts as mistaken identities, frantic cover-ups, and rapid-fire misunderstandings spiral out of control. With doors slamming, secrets spilling, and an endless parade of outrageous characters, no one is safe from the madness.
Filled with Cooney’s trademark witty dialogue, lightning timing, and an avalanche of comic twists, CASH ON DELIVERY promises a night of unrelenting fun and pure theatrical escapism. You will be holding your sides for dear life!
