Our NINTH 
great season
continues!
..................................................................................................................................................................................................
By Larry Shue

One of the funniest plays
ever written, this extraordinarily inventive, 
sidesplitting comedy was first
presented by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, 
then produced in Great Britain, then went on
to Broadway. The action centers
on the hilarious dilemma of 
a young architect who is 
visited by a man he's never met, but
who saved his life in Vietnam - the visitor
turning out to be an 
incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid "nerd"
who outstays his welcome
with a vengeance!

"Shue delivers a neatly crated package
that uses some classic comic forms
to bring the audience to its knees, laughing." - 
Milwaukee Journal

"The audience almost never
stops laughing - handkerchiefs wiping 
away tears of merriment." - Variety

"...a spring tonic of side-bruising
laughter..." - 
Milwaukee Tribune

By Ray Cooney

The sequel to last season's wildly successful
production of Two Into One finds Richard Willey, 
now a government Junior Minister, planning to spend
an evening with one of the opposition's 
typists. Paradise Playhouse continues our love affair
with Ray Cooney, the playwright 
and undisputed master of 
farce, and whether you saw
Two Into One last year, you know things will
go disastrously wrong, to our
audience's delight!

"A triumph." - Financial Times

"Wildly funny." - Telegraph

"A textbook model of pyramiding 
lunacy." - Variety

1991 Olivier Award Winner, Best Comedy

In this hilarious sequel 
to Greater Tuna, it's Christmas
in the third smallest town in Texas. Radio
Station OKKK news personalities
Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie
report on various Yuletide activities, 
including hot competition
in the annual lawn display
contest. In other news, voracious
Joe Bob Lipsey's production
of A Christmas Carol is jeopardized
by unpaid electric bills. Many
colorful Tuna denizens, some you will
recognize from Greater Tuna and some appearing
here for the first time, join in the holiday fun. 
 

"A hoot." -  New York Times

"So funny it could make 
a raccoon laugh affectionately
at Davy Crockett... It's far too 
good for just Christmas."  - New York Post

"The hilarity...never lets up."  - The Village Voice 

October 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25  2008
