Farce by Ray Cooney
Never has this master of farce been frenetically funnier. Henry A. Perkins, a
mild mannered C.P.A, accidently picks up the wrong briefcase one full of money.
Henry assumes it is illicit cash and he decides to keep it. Knowing that the
former owner must have his briefcase, he rushes home to book one way fares to
Barcelona. He tells his confused wife to leave everything behind; if she doesn't
like Barcelona, they can go to Bali. In fact, they can buy Bali! The doorbell
rings as they wait for their taxi. The police detective at the door thinks Henry
was soliciting in the men's room of the local pub actually, he was sitting in
the loo counting the cash. The bell rings again. Another detective arrives
thinking Henry is dead; a man with bullet holes in his head and Henry's
briefcase were found in the Thames. Henry's inept attempts to extricate himself
from this impossible situation lead to increasingly hysterical situations.
