"Fox on the Fairway": A Man's Love Affair With Golf


SUZANNE CLARK as Pamela rehearses with Larry Helms, T.J. Moore and Cheyenne Grantham for the upcoming production of "Fox on the Fairway" at Theatre Winter Haven.

WHAT: "Fox on the Fairway," a comedy by Ken Ludwig presented by Theatre Winter Haven.

THE PLAY: Ludwig, whose locally produced works include "Lend Me a Tenor" and "Moon Over Buffalo," has had six shows on Broadway and six in London's West End, with works performed in more than 30 countries and 20-plus languages. One of his more recent works is "Fox on The Fairway" (2010), in which he lives up to his reputation as "master of the madcap romp." In this piece, he pays tribute to the English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, although it takes place in modern times, pulling the rug out from underneath the stuffiness of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and romantic shenanigans, it is a madcap adventure about love, life and man's love affair with golf. The TWH production is one of the first 50 shows that has been produced, so the theater received autographed copies of the script from the playwright. 

Director Jim McClellan says, "Ludwig grew up on The Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers so his type of farce has a distinctly zany American touch."
