| Mrs. Markham (Melissa DeHart) and Alistair (Jesse Ferreira) rehearse a scene from Move Over Mrs. Markham |
Student Productions Association of LCC presents
their Winter Term show: MOVE OVER MRS. MARKHAM,
written by Ray Cooney and John Chapman, directed by Chris Pinto.
This hilarious British sex farce is a fast paced romp filled with mistaken identities, titillating situations, and risque remarks. Philip Markham (Aaron Archer) and Henry Lodge (Andrew Ghai) run a small but successful children's book publishing company. Philip and Johanna Markham(Melissa DeHart) have been happily, if sexlessly, married for 15 years. That all changes in one eventful evening as Henry (Andrew Ghai) and Linda Lodge's(Leela Gouveia) extramarital affairs intrude on their lives. Johanna is flung into the arms of her interior decorator Alistair (Jesse Ferreira), and Philip ends up being pursued by a naked phone operator. Everyone loses their shirts, the maid runs through in her nightie, and in the middle of it all a successful author arrives looking for a publisher who doesn't go in for sex.
Chris Pinto does his usual brilliant job with an action packed show and quick witted dialog. Past shows of his include the highly successful GODSPELL at LCC last year, and RUMORS, FUNNY MONEY, and ON THE RAZZLE at the VLT.
Other cast members are Rhea Gates, Lilith Lincoln-Dinan, Jimmie Berguin, and Savana Wilson.
