HOTEL MINISTER Ray Cooney

MP Richard Willey is staying at the Westminster Hotel with his wife Pamela. She is going to spend the evening at the theatre so he is planning to seduce Jennifer, one of the PM’s secretaries. He asks his private aide George Pidgen to book a hotel room under an assumed name for Willey to meet his mistress. Pidgen opposes the idea for he is afraid of a scandal – the whole situation happens on the eve before Parliamentary voting on a bill that would outlaw pornography. Eventually Pidgen makes a series of disastrous mistakes and extreme and unexpected complications ensue. A classic play by master of farce Ray Cooney in its new, contemporary version.
