SEE HOW THEY RUN

A play by Philip King

Four vicars. One vicarage. Heaven help them.

In a quiet English village, a vicarage becomes the unlikely setting for an evening of mistaken identities, unexpected visitors, and escalating mayhem. With clergymen, soldiers, an escaped prisoner, and bewildered houseguests racing in and out of doors, "See How They Run" is a classic British farce filled with rapid-fire comedy and delightful confusion.

ABOUT THE PLAY

Philip King’s See How They Run became a wartime comedy sensation before opening in London’s West End at the Comedy Theatre in January 1945. King, an English actor and playwright celebrated for his high-spirited farces, created a breathlessly paced comedy of mistaken identities that became a long-running London hit and has remained a favorite of theatres for generations.

“A breathless show... fast tempo, plenty of laughs.”
