arts theatre london / fuddy mears

Where: Great Newport Street, WC2H 7JB

What: The london debut of David Lindsay-Abaire’s Off-Broadway smash hit anarchic comedy, Fuddy Meers is also Sam Mendes's new production company's first show.

Fuddy Meers follows Claire, an amnesiac who wakes each morning with no recollection of her life to date, or of her devoted husband and troubled teenage son. She spends her life following her husbands very detailed lists and plans, until one morning a masked man with a limp and lisp, who claims to be her brother, comes to ‘rethcue’ her.

With her husband and son in hot pursuit, they seek out her stroke-afflicted mother and meet the limping man’s friend, Millett, along with Binky, his obscene glove puppet. And through the chaos that ensues, Claire attempts to uncover her past.

A wickedly witty family drama that crashes the bounds of political correctness, as as events spiral into delicious disorder.
