Whose wives are they anyway

“A veritable laugh riot” - The Boca Raton News
The Ashley Maureen Cosmetics Company has been sold and two of its vice presidents, David McGrachen and John Baker, have planned a weekend off before the new C.E.O. arrives on Monday. With their wives safely off on a shopping spree in New York City, they check into The Oakfield Golf and Country Club intending to "golf their brains out." They unexpectedly encounter their new boss, Ms. Hutchison, and she insists on meeting the wives, commenting blithely "no one who went golfing for a weekend without his wife would ever work for me."
Consequently, they have to produce wives. John somehow manages to persuade the sexy hotel receptionist to play the role of his wife, which leaves John as the only person left to pretend to be David’s wife! In true farce style, everything starts to go wrong as John moves in and out of bedrooms, changing clothes and sexes at a frantic pace. As alcohol is added into the mix, the phone system dies and things take a turn for the worse when the real wives turn up!
True slapstick fun from English actor-writer Michael Parker, who moved to the United States and noted that many of the traditional British farces didn’t quite translate properly across the Atlantic. He decided to write a ‘proper’ modern British farce that would have the verbal, visual and “naughty but nice” humour to appeal to the masses.
