Tons Of Money
By Will Kane & Valentine, adapted by Alan Ayckbourn
17th June - 8th July 2006
SYNOPSIS
Originally an Aldwych farce, this play was revised by Sir Alan Ayckbourn - a
favourite writer with Dolphin audiences.
Unsuccessful inventor Aubrey Allington inherits a life interest in a fortune
that will revert on his death to his cousin George Maitland. Cousin George is
thought to have died abroad. So Aubrey's lovely (but slightly dotty) wife Louise
hits on a brilliant idea - Aubrey will fake his own death to avoid his
horrendous debts, and return as reborn Cousin George to enjoy the money.
But, yes, you guessed it - Louise's ‘brilliant' idea goes wrong. As Aubrey
turns up as George, another impostor appears as George, and THEN the real George
unexpectedly arrives! The ensuing confusion provides hilarious and steadily
escalating mayhem.
