Coat Tales Presented at Castle
In Boston a comic play unfolds as an un married man offers a sealskin coat to a married woman who cannot explain ownership to her husband. The plot shifts with a pawned ticket and a mixup that passes the garment through three women before ending with the typist, all performed with lively character work by Craig's troupe. Al Roberts and Donald Meek provide memorable turns as Mr Turner and the naughty brother.
