Rookery Nook

Rookery Nook is a farce by the English playwright Ben Travers based on his own 1923 novel. It was first given at the Aldwych Theatre, London in 1926, the third in the series of twelve Aldwych farces presented by the actor-manager Tom Walls at the theatre between 1923 and 1933. The action takes place on a summer night in the lounge-hall of "Rookery Nook", a house at Chumpton-on-Sea, Somerset.

The play was presented by PACT at the Intimate Theatre, Johannesburg and the National Theatre, Pretoria and taken on tour in the Transvaal and the Free State in 1963-1964. It was directed by Siegfried Mynhardt and the cast included Patricia Sanders, George Lane, Arthur Hall and Fiona Fraser.
