One For The Pot

On For The Pot.jpg

One would imagine that it’s not difficult to give £10,000 to the son of your deceased best friend. The problem for Mr. Hardcastle is that he didn’t know his best friend had four sons – and that they were identical quadruplets! And he didn’t expect all four (now grown up) to arrive on his doorstep at the same time, claiming the money.

Ray’s first play and in collaboration with Tony Hilton, offers a wonderful leading role for the young comedy actor playing the four identical quadruplets – an innocent simple lad, a sophisticated man–of-the-world, an Irish rogue and a suave Frenchman. The actor also gets to play...but that would be giving too much away. Its original London production ran for four and a half years.
