Situation Comedy

Messrs. Mortimer and Cooke the top writers of British television "sitcoms " have turned their delightful senses of humor loose on the stage. This live sitcom is about two authors of sitcoms who are stuck for a new idea. By a neatly contrived accident each man finds himself getting drunk with the wrong wife. Macho man Charles Summerskill winds up with a hopelessly undomestic sexpot who is so inept in the kitchen that she burns salad; whereas wimpy Arthur Grey finds himself with a prim and proper expert chef. Charles ends up with a buxom blond and indigestion; Arthur is eating well but is well sexually frustrated. Eventually work forces Charles and Arthur together again and they decide to create a new show based on the recent upheavals in their private lives.
