Funny Money
January 17-27, 2019
by Ray Cooney
Never has this master at farce, Ray Cooney, been frenetically funnier! A mild-mannered CPA accidentally picks up the wrong briefcase and it’s full of money! Assuming it is illicit, he keeps it. Moving along he and his wife decide to fly one way to Barcelona or Bali; until the doorbell rings! Enter a police detective asking questions that send this madcap farce into laughable territories complete with mistaken identities and confusion. The CPA’s inept attempts to extricate himself leads to increasingly hysterical situations.
