See How They Run is a British comedy in three acts by Philip King. It is considered a farce for its tense comic situations and headlong humor, heavily playing on mistaken identity, doors, and vicars. The play is set shortly after the end of World War II in the living room of the vicarage at the fictitious village of Merton-cum-Middlewick. Resident nosy-parker and spinster, Miss Skillon, becomes convinced that her beloved vicar’s actress wife is having an affair and attempts to expose her. Add an escaped Soviet spy, a handsome actor, the visiting Bishop of Lax, a second vicar and the local police sergeant and hilarious confusion and mayhem result.
The cast of See How They Run includes Julia Barksdale, Austin Bult, Chris Decrescenzo, Justin Gendron, Lauren Holt, Zachary Kenney, Barry Libowitz, Emily Lopez, Sam Noccioli, Teyana Powell, and Christopher Smith.
The production is directed by Kathleen Murphy and produced by Jeff Leinen. Costuming is by Susan Barksdale and set design is by Mike Rich.
