Clarkston Village Players presents the comedy farce “Out of Order” by Ray Cooney, with special permission from Samuel French, at Depot Theatre, 4861 White Lake Road.
With his wife off in the country, or so he thinks, ladies-man Richard Willey, a junior minister in the British government, takes advantage of an all-night parliamentary debate to spend a naughty evening with a secretary from the opposition leader’s staff.
A dead body, hapless assistant, haughty hotel manager, venal waiter, private detective and suspicious spouses all find their way in and out of the hotel suite in the comedy farce.
Tickets are $15 for 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays, May 5 and 12, and Saturday, May 11, as well as 7:30 p.m., Thursday, May 16; and $17 on Fridays and Saturday evenings, 8 p.m., May 3-4, 10-11, and 17-18.
