Review: Cubbington Players, Funny Money, May 14, Cubbington Village Hall
Hilarity ensued last week with the Cubbington Players' performance of Ray Cooney's Funny Money.
In it, mild mannered accountant, Henry Perkins (Dan Hawkins) accidentally discovers £735,000 and attempts to escape with the cash to Barcelona, despite his wife's pleas to the contrary.
Cooney's play is an excellent choice and is very witty, except for one or two cheap and obvious jokes.
It was executed with energy and pace.
Mark Frampton, playing Henry's friend Vic, acted and reacted brilliantly and had the audience in fits of laughter with his perfect comic timing.
Frampton's contribution though, was just one element in the entertaining performance of a well-cast ensemble.
