I just read this script and I really like it, but I would like any info/suggestions from some of you who have done it or have seen it done.  We are looking for a good play for competition.  This one seems great, but I am trying to predict what the judges would say.   Please give me any input you can!  Thanks!

Reality - any of Ray Cooney's stuff is great, in my opinion, but this script is a little dated.  We caught it when we were in London a few years ago and laughed ourselves silly, but we both enjoy frantic comedies and Ray Cooney is one of our favorites.
 
How big is your theater group?  Do you have a good number of actors to draw from?  You will need some very good actors with strong comedic timing to make Ray Cooney work as written.
 
You can never predict what the judges will or won't like.  We had one professor at our school constantly trying to second guess them and he never had any success.  IMO, it is better to choose a play that you think your company can handle and do your best as opposed to trying to figure out what will please the judges.

Thanks for your input.  I should have a good selection of actors/actresses to choose from.  I think it will be a good challenge for us and we will have fun!
