Drama group to perform farcical comedy at Warkworth Memorial Hall

Rollicking, raunchy and even romantic escapades pervade Warkworth Drama Group’s latest production.

‘Habeas Corpus’, regarded as one of Alan Bennett’s funniest plays, features the antics at the Wicksteed home as one family member after another seeks illicit love and affection.

Co-director Meg Dixon said: “This is a farcical comedy of ill-manners with women worried about their busts and men having their trousers removed.

“Through a series of mistaken identities and carnal encounters, one motto holds fast: ‘He whose lust lasts, lasts longest’.”
