Set in a hospital, It Runs in the Family contains the usual assortment of farcical nuts running in and out of doors mistaking everybody for someone else, as Dr. Mortimore tries to fend off a paternity suit, an ex-wife, a punkish daughter and various other lunatics so that he may, at last, deliver the Ponsonby Lecture in an international conference.
REVIEWS:
"My glasses steamed up with laughter...A must for the bruised in spirit and the young at heart."
The Sunday Times
"Tickles the funny bones quite shamelessly."
Sunday Express
"As in every good farce from Ben Travers to Joe Orton, the location becomes a madhouse filled with an epidemic of unbridled lunacy."
London Financial Times
It was subsequently presented at The Playhouse, London, on 17th August 1992.
