So swift is the action, so involved the situations, so rib-tickling the plot in this London hit that at its finish audiences are left as exhausted from laughter as though they had run a foot race Galloping in and out of the five doors of an English country vicarage just after World War II are an American actor and actress (he is now stationed with the air force in England), a cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, an old maid who "touches alcohol for the first time in her life," four men dressed as clergy, presenting the problem of which is which (one of them is an escaped prisoner) and a sedate bishop aghast at all these goings on and the trumped up stories they tell him.
This classic English farce was first seen in England in 1944 and in the USA in 1949 and is constantly being revived, both professionally and with community theatre groups. In 2006, the British Theatre Guide wrote that "It remains arguably the funniest farce ever written.”
