Wild Goose Chase 2001

Written by Derek Benfield and published in 1985, the play revolves around the attempts of photographer Chester Dreadnought to evade two shady characters, Capone and Wedgwood, who are after him for a photograph which shows them robbing a jewelry store. He arrives at the castle owned by Lord and Lady Elrood and pretends to their expected guest. But he might have been safer with Capone and Wedgwood because the castle is inhabited by a host of crazy characters. Add a love struck Scottish teenager, a constable who has never arrested any one, a crazy relic hunter and a short sighted maid, and we have the perfect recipe for a frolicking good farce.
