'How They Run' a fun but chaste British farce, director says

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Innocent isn't usually a word associated with a British farce.
But director Jim Mikula says "See How They Run," being staged by the Valley Players of Ligonier this weekend, is much calmer than some.
"This was one of the first British farces ever written. It was written in 1949," he says. "It wasn't until the 1970s or '80s that the farces started to get more risque. It does have the chase scenes and people in and out of doors, but it doesn't have the sexual suggestions that the later farces have."
