Anthony Grey - Co-director
Paul is playing the role of Stanley Gardner, as there are not many people who can fill his
shoes. Stanley is a role he has done three times in Run for your Wife. Now he gets to
adopt the character to a different plot. Along with Norman Bassett, Brian Runicles
whom he has also played three times. These characters are legends and to have played
them is an honor. I am humble to the writers who created them as they have made
many a tissue soggy with laughter.
Having directed Four Flat Whites. Also acting in Last of the Summer Wine. Anthony
has taken up the challenge to co-direct this full on farce.
Antony Played John in Run for your Wife.He is playing the same role in this production.
He has recently played the part of Fredrick Arnott, in Enchanted April. Ant has been
involved in other theatre productions as well as musicals. A very talented actor and
extremely versatile, he fits the part of John perfectly.

was also Mary Smith, in Run for Your Wife. She has co-directed, choreographed as well as
acted in children's productions, her favorite role being Aunt Sally in Worzel Gummidge.
Initially in musicals as a dancer, singer and actor, she is now hooked on comedy and drama
enjoying the role of Michelle in Allo allo and recently playing Ms. Cowper in Cash on
Delivery.
Having played Barbara in Run for your Wife. Karen is playing the same role again in this
production. Cash on delivery was her more recent production where she played the
supporting role and showed her natural ability to adapt to the vigors of full on farce.
Karen has worked for other theatres and has been stage manager among other roles.
Ciaran’s last role was in 12 Angry Men at Morrinsville theatre. This is his first time on our
stage.
