Ferenc Molnár

P.G. Wodehouse's adaptation of Jatek a Kastelyban (The Play in the Castle) brings Ferenc Molnar's classic comedy to a wider audience. The play is a romantic farce without the usual door-slamming and comic entrances and exits. Instead, we are treated to a party of guests seemingly overhearing a lover's tryst, only to find (with the help of a very quick-witted playwright) that they are actually hearing something very different. The play combines beautifully formed characters with an exquisite text.

Pip and Nanny love to hear stories about their mother, who is in Heaven, a beautiful angel with golden wings. The children wonder what she really looked like, and one day Mrs. Finn sees a store mannequin that looks just like her. Did she really smile at the children?
