Ruislip Dramatic Society presents
Habeas Corpus by Alan Bennett

Hop aboard this satirical merry-go-round with the Wicksteed family, filled with mistaken identity, mismanaged lust and Bennett’s razor-sharp wit. A wickedly funny saucy seaside postcard of a play set in 1970s Hove, presented by Ruislip Dramatic Society.

Take a seemingly respectable doctor and his wife along with their hypochondriac son. Then, add a young lady patient who the doctor takes a fancy to, but who in turn takes an interest in his son, and the doctor's sister who is more concerned about her flat chest than her courtship with the limp but good-natured vicar, Canon Throbbing.

Finally stir this with the President of the British Medical Association and an assortment of characters which include a bra-fitter salesman from Leatherhead, and you are left with this wickedly funny play from the talented Alan Bennett.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, this farcical comedy of ill-manners is hilarious but also thought-provoking and shows Bennett at his best.
