Rumours
Welcome to a brand-new farce from award-winning Laois Open Door replete with silly asses, pretty ladies and lashings of cross-purposes, doomed lies and sparkling silliness. This riotously funny farce centres on the efforts of eight party guests to spare their unfortunate host, and themselves, from scandal.
It opens with Ken and Chris who have found their host Charley, a prominent Government official, in his bedroom, too dazed to speak, with a bullet wound in his ear lobe!!
His wife Vivian and domestic help are nowhere to be seen. Len and Claire arrive having been injured in a car crash, and are soon joined by Ernest and Cookie, and Glenn and Cassie, each with their own problems.
Following a second accidental gunshot that leaves Ken temporarily deaf, the police arrive and Len, drawing the short straw, pretends to be Charley. He concocts a touching and fantastic explanation that in end proves more credible than anyone dared hoped.
This is a farcical situation in which the events with potential social embarrassment must be covered up in the best possible way.
