    Tom Erb mines a wedding scenario and unearths one comedic jewel after another - angry bees, spiked brownies, a skunk, comical debauchery, and injuries galore. What a fun piece to stage!

    There is something fabulous about a farce that can make you laugh out loud just when reading it! Weddings are a complicated affair anyway but I feel for Tom's poor characters and the chaos they endure while attempting to ensure Laura and Robert's wedding goes ahead as planned. It would be a thrilling and hilarious piece to direct and perform in as well as watch. Just when you think you've seen it all Tom throws in a wonderfully witty conversation or a laugh out loud moment of chaos. I've no doubt an audience will love this fabulous example of farce!

    Who doesn't like a good old-fashioned farce - and Tom Erb's WEDDING SECRETS is just that! Creative staging elements and hilarious mishaps result in a wedding to remember. The characters are sharply-drawn and their choices are suitably questionable leading to the intended fun and funny. This would be a great piece for adventurous community theatres.
