Synopsis
On the way home one night Henry Perkins, mild-mannered accountant, picks up the wrong briefcase on the Tube. Inside the briefcase Henry finds £735,000 in used notes! So naturally he decides to flit to sunny Spain with his wife. Bliss! But then, enter two coppers. One to arrest him for erratic behaviour in the local pub. The other to ask him to identify the corpse of a murdered man called Henry Perkins! Calamity! What ensues is a spiralling confusion of fibs, false names and frantic deceptions. This huge West End hit by that ‘Master of Comedy’ - Ray Cooney - provides an evening of riotous comedy and downright fun.
