Run For Your Wife is a Classic Copperstate Farce by the master himself Ray Cooney!! (Funny Money, Tom Dick and Harry and Caught in the Net) John Smith is back! The hapless cab driver with two wives has returned to Copperstate. The single most requested show in the dinner theater’s 25 year history is a classic farce that finds a London cabby juggling two wives, but when an accident causes a mix up in his perfectly timed schedule all heck breaks loose! This is perhaps the funniest farce ever written.
The Copperstate Dinner Theater production of Run For Your Wife is written by Ray Cooney and directed by me, Copperstate’s Producing Director Peter J. Hill..
