Two young women of "marriageable age".
Two young men, interested in these two young women.
Two parents determined to keep the young men well away from the young women.
Two servants, full of cunning plans.
And one busybody.
This wonderful romp was one of the first plays performed in Australia (in 1796) by a company of convicts, and is now adapted by the directors, retaining the witty dialogue, lively action, and comedic style of the original.
(This play may be the origin of the term “monkey business”).
(Matinees Sat 5th at 2pm, Sun 6th at 2pm and 5 pm, and Sun 13th at 2pm).
