See How They Run - With Lesbians

My wife and I joined another couple to See How They Run at the Duchess theatre down near Covent Garden. Its a famous old thing, set in the WWII British countryside, at the manor of a dorky Vicar and his pseudo-vixish wife, Penelope.
It reminded me a bit of a Three's Company episode complete with Jack (the Vicar), Larry (Clive), Janet (Penelope... though hotter, like Grace [ala Will]), Chrissy (IDA the Maid), Mr. Roper (the Bishop), Mr. Furley (Humphrey), and, well, Ms. Skillon was a cross between Mrs. Roper and Karen from Will and Grace.
I am proud to say that I was able to follow the conversation line better than usual, as normally I am incapable of comprehending the central plot in a Monty Python movie. Props to James and Jonny for training me up.
It was pretty funny, very slapstickish, and had my pregnant wife worried for the health of our child-to-be with her laughing so hard. A good time was had by all.
We followed it up with a visit to our local neighborhood ri-zado bar called Ooze. Great name, good food, and a good catchup with good friends that I don't get to see often enough.
There were no Lesbians that I know of, but it certainly is likely to increase my readership by putting it in the title.
