MILFORD — Playwright Ray Cooney, well-known for his satirical farces, brings traditional British bawdiness to the theme of an ordinary guy with an extraordinary love life in “Caught in the Net,” presented by the Second Street Players.
Christina Miller directs this sequel to Mr. Cooney’s popular “Run for Your Wife,” which was staged by SSP in 2019. In this installment, the bigamist taxi driver John Smith still keeping his two families in different parts of London, both happy and blissfully unaware of each other. However, his teenage children, a girl from one family and a boy from the other, have met on the internet and are anxious to meet in person since they have so much in common: their surname and having a taxi-driving dad.
Keeping them apart plunges John into a hellhole of his own making. His lodger, Stanley, could be a savior, but he is about to go on holiday with his decrepit father who turns up thinking he is already at the guesthouse. The situation spirals out of control as John juggles outrageously with the truth.
Performances will be at the Riverfront Theater, 2 S. Walnut St., Milford, and are scheduled for Sept. 10-12 and 17-19. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7 p.m., and Sunday shows begin at 2 p.m.
Seats are $20, with a $1 discount available to seniors, military members, students and SSP members.
