Sway’s Village Hall is a charming venue for this Ray Cooney farce, directed by John James.

John Smith (Mathew Stone, with a winning smile and understandably harassed manner) makes increasingly desperate efforts to preserve his secret – he is a bigamist – from two police officers (promising debuts from Kim Walker, stern and authoritative, while Mike Walker is surprisingly tolerant) and keep his two wives (Lisa Siuda and Dawn Creswell) in “blissful” ignorance, aided and abetted by his mate Stanley (Chris Davis, also on début).

The two even resort to posing as gay lovers, to the delight of upsairs neighbour Bobby (an outrageously camp performance by John Petroff).

The set and staging allow the comings and goings at John’s two homes to be shown simultaneously, any confusion involved being strictly intentional.

And this broadest of farces proceeds at such a pace that one may relax, enjoy and take a break from any modern notions of political correctness.
