Rookery Nook is a classic British Farce. A newly married and reformed playboy, a beautiful young girl thrown out of her home wearing just her pink silk pajamas, a suspicious sister-in-law, and a meddling maid all come together to turn a quiet weekend at Rookery Nook into a terrible muddle with hilarious results.

        I attended Rookery Nook the day my kids' report cards came out. This production gets straight A's. Cast plays well together and exceeds expectations.
