Written by Ray Cooney and directed by Chris Mortenson, Run for Your Wife is “a highly successful 9-year run in the West End—a superb example of the classic British farce—this comedy had audiences rolling in the aisles in London and New York! John Smith is a taxi cab driver getting away with having two wives in two different areas of London because of his irregular working schedule. His life gets turned upside down when a chance hospital visit brings his two lives crashing together, complicated by a nosey neighbor and two suspicious inspectors,” according to Omar Kozarsky, the theater’s Director of Publicity.
