A Surfeit of Smiths

4 Extra Debut. A combination of real and pretend couples called ‘Smith’ causes chaos for hotel manager Mr Salvadori. Stars Hywel Bennett.

Mr Salvadori is justifiably proud of his recently upgraded hotel.

Smooth efficiency is the keynote of the establishment: Until, that is, Ashley Parker MP and his girlfriend book in as 'Mr and Mrs Smith'.

If only they were the only Smiths staying for the weekend and if Mr Salvadori's command of English were just a little better....

Starring Hywel Bennett and Dinsdale Landen.

John Graham's farcical comedy.
