"textContent": "Written by the “Master of Farce” Ray Cooney, this Olivier Award-winning play\nfollows a chaotic evening in a Westminster hotel, where Tory Junior Minister\nRichard Willey attempts to meet one of the Opposition’s secretaries – only for\nevents to spiral out of control when they discover a body trapped in a sash\nwindow.\n\nWith the help of his well-meaning but hapless private secretary George, Willey’s\nsituation quickly unravels, with interruptions from hotel staff, spouses and a\ndisgruntled nurse adding to the confusion.\n\nThe production is being staged by Stone Revellers, one of the area’s\nlongest-established theatre companies, and features a cast and crew drawn from\nacross the local community.\n\nRob Stanway, Chairman of Stone Revellers, said:\n\n> “We’re really excited to bring this show to Crown Wharf. It’s a genuinely laugh-out-loud comedy and a brilliant night out for audiences.”\n\n> “We’ve got a fantastic team working on this production and it’s already shaping up to be something special.”\n\nThe Crown Wharf Theatre, located in the heart of Stone, continues to build a\nreputation for high-quality local productions.\n\nOut of Order runs for four performances from 10–13 June 2026, with shows\nstarting at 7:30pm each evening.\n\nTickets are priced at £16 for adults and £14 for concessions, and are available\nvia the Crown Wharf Theatre website: www.crownwharftheatre.org.uk\n\n#### Enjoyed this story?\n\nThe Staffordshire Signal is a not-for-profit, community-funded publication.
