Out Of Order
Ray Cooney

A Cabinet Minister's plans an illicit evening in a London hotel.

The evening however comes to an abrupt halt when he and the lady involved find a dead body in the bedroom.
If the Cabinet Minister is involved in the scandal, he knows that he would bring disgrace on the government and his marriage could fail. And so, he sets about trying to cover up the body.

The characters are all eminently recognisable. ... ...As he pops in and out of the action, he manages to deliver some quick and funny one-liners.
The maid on the other hand is confused by the whole thing.
She is from the Mediterranean and can speak little English.
The Manager of the Hotel is a pompous and somber man with little or no sense of humour.
Further complications arise when Ronnie arrives.
More characters arrive in the next act to add more confusion and mayhem
