The Fox on the Fairway
a farce by Ken Ludwig
Directed by Steve Elrick
Louise (Emily Baker) and Justin (Cory Bissell) have been dating, and soon will be engaged. Bingham (Andy Mollema) and Muriel (Rachel Evans-Higgins) wish they never had gotten engaged, let alone married, lo those many years ago. Dickie (Larry Hilton) and Pamela (Debbra Eckhout) were wise enough to call it quits after six torturous months of marriage.
They're all at the Quail Valley Country Club. Bingham and Muriel own it, Pamela's a member, and Justin and Louise are employees. Dickie, who owns a rival country club, makes a $200,000 bet with his rival that his outstanding golfer can beat Bingham's. Dickie, however, has been underhanded to shift matters to his favor. There's one in every farce. He has included lovers' quarrels, overheard conversations, the battle-ax who's a sucker for compliments, and the surprise ending.
All the action takes place at the Quail Valley Country Club... the scene of the annual inter-club golf tournament with arch rival Crouching Squirrel Country Club. Quail's executive, whose job is on the line since his team has not won in the past five years, and Squirrel's pompous and arrogant executive, make an absurd personal bet...one that the Quail exec clearly cannot afford to lose. At the time of the wager, each believes he has the advantage, but the tables keep turning at a mad-cap pace that may remind you of the Marx Brothers at their absolute zaniest. This is a comedy you won't want to miss.
