Richard Ingham     Snakes Alive
Company
Synopsis:

A busy comedy in which computer wizard Paul's attempts to seduce English literature tutor Olivia are interrupted by his wife, a DIY-made father-in-law, a woman anxious to stage a bring-and-buy sale, a convicted but (possibly) reformed felon in search of a lost boa constrictor, and his wife's former lover, anxious to resume past intimacies. An invasion of strangely dressed burglars adds to Paul's frustrations. Violence and distress break out; a moustache begins to wander; lust rears its head and romance alters the prospects of practically everyone. Richard Ingham's splendid farce brings us face to face with the difficulties and delights of a collision between poetic sensibility and a leaking roof in a downstairs loo - and where is that damned snake?
