Audience Reviews

dennyjt 6/10 Jul 24, 2022
Courtroom comedy farce is smartly written fun with an unexpected twist. Craig and Peach are barristers in the same chamber opposing one another in court when De Banzie brings suit against dodgy Moody, claiming to be his long lost wife. Since he is now shacked up with bubbly Fraser, he denies all knowledge of her. The case is a series of mishaps, causing blustery outbursts by judge Justice until the case is dismissed. That's where a delicious plot twist comes in that shows one can't always judge by appearance. Of course, the two warring barristers realise their mutual attraction by the end. Filled with delightful characters make this a treat, with a marvellous cast, down to the smallest of parts. Memeorable lines abound. Liz Fraser to court security officer Terry Scott, “Where can a lady get a drink around here?” His reply, “There's a water fountain over there.” “I want a drink, not a wash!”
