The Way Things Go (play)

The Way Things Go is a comedy play by the British writer Frederick Lonsdale. It ran for 155 performances at the Phoenix Theatre in the West End between 2 March and 15 July 1950.[1] It was Lonsdale's final play, ending a career that stretched back to the Edwardian era. The original cast included Glynis Johns, Kenneth More, Ronald Squire and Michael Gough. It was subsequently staged at the Booth Theatre in New York the same year, but lasted for only twelve performances.

Synopsis

A wealthy young American woman tries to lure an impoverished British duke into marriage.

gollark: That too.
gollark: Perhaps we are in the same time zone, or same country, or same constituency, or even same village, or same house, or same room.
gollark: It is 17:02:33 for me too!
gollark: Phrasing it as "the EVIL CAPITALISTS want us to unlockdown because they only care about the economy" is ridiculous - *we need to produce things* and people will probably become increasingly unhappy/crazy as time spent at home drags on.
gollark: Unfortunately the UK does not appear to *have* a plan, and the government is completely refusing to explain anything it's going to do.
