HALLOWELL — The Gaslight Theater of Hallowell will present “No Sex Please, We’re British” by Anthony Marriott and Alistair Foot, directed by Richard Bostwick.
The story follows a young bride who lives above a bank with her husband who is the assistant manager. She innocently mail orders some Scandinavian glassware. What arrives is Scandinavian pornography. The plot revolves around what is to be done with the veritable floods of pornography, photographs, books, films and eventually girls that threaten to engulf this happy couple.
The matter is considerably complicated by the man’s mother, his boss, a visiting bank inspector, a police superintendent, and a muddled friend who does everything wrong in his reluctant efforts to set everything right, all of which works up to a hilarious ending of closed or slamming doors.
This farce ran in London over eight years and also delighted Broadway audiences.
Production dates are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, June 14, 15, 21 and 22; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 16 and 23. Presented at Hallowell City Hall, 1 Winthrop Street. METickets are 12 adults, $10 for students and seniors. For reservations, call 207-626-3698 or visit www.gaslighttheater.org/.
