Productions
The play opened on 20 September 2019 and ran until 1 December 2019 at the Vaudeville Theatre in London's West End and was the inaugural production of Mischief's year long residency at the Vaudeville (running simultaneously in the West End alongside Mischief's long-running productions of The Play That Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery).[1][2]
The play was to begin a UK tour opening at The Lowry, Salford from August 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic throws this into doubt. Cast is to be announced.
