Two into one
PLAYWRIGHT: RAY COONEY
DIRECTOR: THYS HEYDENRYCH
VENUE: WYNAND MOUTON THEATRE
LANGUAGE: ENGLISH
Two Into One focuses on the infidelity
of Richard Willey, a Minister of Parliament. On the day of voting on a bill
that would outlaw pornography, everyone in Parliament is on their best
behaviour - that is everyone except Mr Willey. While his colleagues prepare to
debate, Willey is attempting to bed the Premier’s secretary in a Cape Town
hotel, while his wife is seeing the matinée of Rocky Horror Picture Show. The
only thing his personal private secretary George Pidgen has to do is book a
hotel room for Willey to meet Jennifer. In typical Ray Cooney style the awkward
George makes a series of disastrous mistakes. Throw in a brusque hotel manager,
a member of the opposition party and an extremely nosey Afrikaans waiter, and
extreme complications ensue in the two adjoining suites. The British play is
given a South African flavour and some of our most prominent government
officials get proper mentioning.
This hilarious Ray Cooney comedy will be
performed by final year drama students of the Free State University in the
Wynand Mouton Theatre. Directed by Thys Heydenrych.
