Funny Money, Royal Court
IN RECENT years, the farce has waned in popularity, giving way to more sophisticated comedy.
Well now it's back. With a door-slamming, trouser-dropping, innuendo-ridden vengeance.
Suitably Scoused-up by director Leslie Lawton for this production, Funny Money is very funny . . . and very silly.
This fast-moving play revolves around main characters Danny (played by Neil Caple) and his wife (Eithne Brown) and the way they react to finding this briefcase containing £2m.
The ensuing chaos is magnificent.
The entire cast, including Neil’s long-time Brookside buddy Mark Moraghan and Royal Court regular Alan Stocks, bounce off each other, both metaphorically and physically, with precision timing.
With tickets costing from as little as £10, you won’t need a briefcase full of money to enjoy it.
