Travellers' Joy
A comedy by ARTHUR MACRAE starring Jessie Matthews and Richard Murdoch
Twenty-one years after its first performance at London's Criterion Theatre, Arthur Macrae 's hilarious comedy-farce neatly exploits, with a sprightly topicality, a major irritant of the Englishman abroad - currency restrictions
Beatrice Pelham (' Bumble '), her travel allowance long since spent and finding herself marooned in a luxury hotel in Stockholm, unable either to pay the bill or even to raise the fare home, devises wild and extravagant schemes to extract herself from an uncomfortable situation. At first she looks like succeeding. especially when her supposedly wealthy ex-husband arrives on the scene....
