MOVE OVER MRS. MARKHAM - Dinner Stage
Nov. 28th, 29th. December 5th, 6th, 11th, 12th, 13th.
Philip Markham, a publisher of children's books, is
asked by his business partner, Henry Lodge, if he can borrow his
apartment for the evening to gallivant with his latest girlfriend. As
Philip and his wife will be out, he reluctantly agrees. At the same
time, Joanna Markham is being persuaded by Linda Lodge to let her
borrow the empty apartment in order to entertain her lover. With some
misgivings, Joanna agrees. What nobody knows is that the interior
designer who has been decorating the apartment for the past three
months has decided that this is the night that he and the au pair girl
will try out the new bed. When the Markhams' evening out is cancelled,
it is too late to let any of the parties know and three sets of hopeful
lovers all converge on the bedroom at the same time. The situation is
further complicated by the arrival of Olive Harriet Smythe, a
straightlaced authoress of children's books. The frantic efforts of the
Markhams to hide the amorous goings-on and, at the same time sign up
Miss Smythe, lead to a hectic and hilarious evening.
