MARKHAM - JULY 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Described as a "bedroom farce comedy" and as "the laughter riot of the year" by reviewers during spectacular London and New York successes, "Mrs. Markham" is probably the best of the so-called "British Sex Farces" in years! The antics of a zany group of adults after 15 years of marriage is recommended ADULT fare!
