From the selection of the play to the final opening night curtain, the laughs abound in A Crooked French Affair. Wittily skewering technophobia, board politics, actor quirks, urology, and the course of true (and not so true) love, the humor escalates to a rousing conclusion. Every element, including the set, contributes to the fun. This brilliantly crafted play is sure to be a hit with every audience.

This is a "play that goes wrong" starting from the play selection with the board until the play goes oh so very right opening night! So much fun to be had with the staging and characters. Very relatable to those in the world of theatre as well as to audiences new to the theatre, who will love getting a little behind the scenes glimpse of how a play gets made. Including the bit where the board doesn't even read the script, but makes very pointed and confident assumptions about it!

"Crooked French Affair" is a theatrical gem. The writing is sharp and engaging, the characters are vividly crafted, and the dialogue sparkles with wit. Each scene unfolds with precision, painting a colorful tapestry of 18th-century France. It's a delightful blend of history and humor that captivates from start to finish. It is a true testament to Ruyle's talent as a playwright.
