London, 1927. The rebellious twenties are roaring right outside Sir Hector Benbow's Mayfair window. All he wants to do is to take Cherry, a 'good looker', out for a spot of dinner. His saucy liaison is scuppered when Lady Benbow and his ward Kitty arrive home unexpectedly. What's more, there are reports that Thark - the family home - is haunted! Hector, his plucky nephew Ronny, and the rest of the family set out to investigate. Will Thark live up to its spine-chilling reputation? Fast-paced, fruity and full of flappers, Ben Travers' Thark is a hilarious classic British farce combining sparkling witticisms and bold physical comedy with glamour, naughty romps and a hint of gothic spookery! Snapdragon Productions presents Thark, one of Ben Travers' most celebrated Aldwych Farces, re-imagined for the Park200 space in a new adaptation by writer and actor Clive Francis. The play is directed by Eleanor Rhode, whose previous sell-out successes include A Life and the Time Out Critics' Choice productions The Drawer Boy and Generous.
