The Kerwood brothers are not your everyday Tom, Dick and Harry. So when Tom Kerwood and his wife Linda nervously await Mrs Potter from the adoption agency, who's to assess them at home, it's not surprising that events get out of hand. Dick has returned from a French smuggling trip with brandy and cigarettes - and two Kosovan refugees. Meanwhile, hospital porter Harry has embarked on an ambitious plan (involving body parts) to get the price reduced on the house Tom and Linda want to buy. Hilarious mayhem ensues, as Tom must fabricate ever wilder explanations to placate Linda, Mrs Potter and a suspicious policeman. Seen to critical acclaim at London's Duke of York theatre in 2005, the Cooneys' smart, resourceful comedy starred the McGann brothers.
"This is a highly original, consistently inventive farce that depends on neither illicit hanky-panky nor dropped trousers for its humour. At its considerable best, it ranks amongst Cooney's finest, and frequently found me helpless with laughter." Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph "... the whole thing is hilarious, daft and utterly irresistible." John Peter, Sunday Times"
