Mr H
Hosted by Charles Lamb · EN
Mr H is a farce that was first performed at Drury Lane in 1806. The plot is slender and revolves around a single rather feeble joke, but the characters are skilfully drawn and the sharp observations of contemporary fashion do much to divert the listener from the weakness of the central theme. More a comedy of manners rather than a true farce, this short play is best enjoyed as a gentle romp through the eccentricities of the Regency period. (Summary by Algy Pug) Cast Mr H: Peter Bishop Landlord Pry: Martin Geeson Belvil: NCarrington Melesinda: Elizabeth Klett First Waiter: Ric F Second Waiter: Phil Chenevert Third Waiter: Algy Pug Fourth Waiter: Elizabeth Klett Fifth Waiter: Marty Kris First Gentleman: Lars Rolander Second Gentleman: Max Korlinge First Footman: Brian Morgan Second Footman/Gentleman: Algy Pug First Lady: Carol Box Second Lady: Sarah Crampton Third Lady/Old Lady: Mil Nicholson Fourth Lady: Malane Fifth Lady: Amy Gramour Sixth Lady: Martin Geeson Susan: Goldfish Maid: Beth Thomas Narrator: Algy Pug Audio editing: Phil Chenevert
