There is no furniture on the set
— itis all painted onta the im-
pressionise backdrops. But charac:
fers can reach into the set and
open drawers, use a bell pult or
apen a door, since the real items
have been built into dhe back of
the set.

In the true spirit of farce, the
plot is “'very, very complicated”
says Santo. but it all starts with a
wife's suspicion of her husband's
infidelity. There are still some
remaining Gickets. bor reservations
