Synopsis

John Smith is a bigamous taxi driver. The action takes place simultaneously in his two homes, in Streatham and Wimbledon.

Theatre Notes

By Martin Jones, chairman: “Ten years ago we presented a farce called Run for Your Wife which told the story of a taxi driver who juggled his life between two wives in two separate houses in two different parts of London. Caught in the Net catches up with him some twenty years later, where we find him in the same tricky situation. I am pleased to welcome Sarah Bucknall as a newcomer to the stage.”
