"Funny Money" auditions are open and no experience is necessary. All auditions are at 7 p.m. Performances are at 8 p.m. except Sunday performances are at 2 p.m. Readings will be from the script. Performances: Jan. 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22 & 23 2011. Setting: The action of the play takes place in the Fulham house of Henry and Jean Perkins. Henry A. Perkins, a mild mannered C.P.A, accidentally picks up the wrong briefcase and discovers it's filled with money. Henry assumes it is illicit cash so he decides to keep it. Knowing that the former owner must have his briefcase and address, Henry rushes home to book one way fares to Barcelona before he tracks him down. He tells his confused wife to leave everything behind; if she doesn't like Barcelona, they can go to Bali. In fact, they can buy Bali! The doorbell rings as they wait for their taxi. The police detective at the door thinks Henry was soliciting in the men's room of the local pub. (Actually, he was sitting in the loo counting the cash.) The bell rings again and another detective arrives to tell his wife Henry is dead because a man with bullet holes in his head and Henry's briefcase were found in the Thames. Henry creates all kinds of stories as he tries to keep the detectives from discovering his secret while his wife just keeps drinking! Henry's inept attempts to extricate himself from this impossible situation lead to increasingly hysterical situations in this fast paced farce. Hysterical! paced |
