House Theatre is getting a bit naughty this spring, with the final show of its
successful 2008-09 season,<i> Not Now, Darling, </i>showing May 21 to June 7,

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
text-align:justify;text-indent:6.75pt'>An uproarious comedy in the great
tradition of British “sex farces,” <i>Not Now, Darling,</i> by Ray Cooney
& John Chapman, <i> </i>is the story of two owners of an upscale
London fur salon. It’s a side-splitting tale of attempted affairs which
falls into a tangle of delightful misunderstandings---and good fun! Gilbert
Bodley and Arnold Crouch cope with suspicious wives, mistaken identities and
scantily-clad girls hurriedly stashed in closets or out on balconies. Make a
note of it: Don’t miss this jolly fun –and hilariously sexy ---
night at the theatre! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
text-align:justify;text-indent:6.75pt'>The cast of<i> Not Now, Darling </i>includes:
Henry Bishop as Mr. Frencham, Tess Burgler as Janie McMichael, Timothy Champion

Lawson, Holly Humes as Maude Bodley, Dede Klein as Miss Tipdale, Scott Shriner
as Gilbert Bodley, Richard Worswick as Arnold Crouch and Karen Wood as Mrs.
Frencham.<o:p></o:p></p>
