A RISE IN THE MARKET

By Edward Taylor

16th June - 7th July 2007

SYNOPSIS

“A Rise In the Market” is set in a luxurious Penthouse in Paris. Sir Clive Partridge hopes to become president of the EEC but he needs the support of the puritanical elder statesman Jacques Berri.

So it is bad news for Partridge when Berri comes to visit on a day that Partridge is trapped in a luxurious flat in Paris, where he is beset by glamorous young women he can’t account for, plus an angry wife and an exploding boiler! Wild mishaps and comic confusion abound right up to the hilarious climax in this sharp satire.
