There's A Burglar In My Bed

Written by
Michael Parker
Performed by
The Oriental Repertory Company
Under the Direction of
Craig Elliott

April 8 & 9, 2011

William Worthington III and his wife both say they are going away for the weekend from their 200-acre Massachusetts estate with its 26-bedroom mansion: William to Delaware to shoot ducks with the Duponts and Ashley Worthington to visit her mother in Boston. Both have, in fact, arranged trysts with their respective lovers in the estate’s beach cottage.

Inevitably their paths cross and divorce is in the air. But neither is willing to give up the world famous Worthington necklace, so each devises a plan to steal it.

True to the laws of farce, both simulated burglaries are scheduled for the same night. Fun and chaos ensues — mistaken identities, unlikely romantic liaisons, a bumbling private detective, a fake necklace, one very determined nymphomaniac and two pseudo nuns sharing a single skirt.

Who has the real necklace? Who has the fake? There is a surprise ending!
