Chase Me Comrade

Ray Cooney
Directed by Norman Whitelam
31st March - 1st April 1987
A splendidly funny comedy dealing with the defection of a Russian male ballet dancer. He is befriended by a young English ballerina who brings him to the country house of a girlfriend of hers, Nancy Rimmington. Nancy’s father is a big noise at the Admiralty, so the antics that she, her boyfriend and the ballerina have to go through to keep the Russian’s presence unknown from her father and a visiting Government official supply a series of hysterically funny scenes. It’s a riot from beginning to end.
