Country wife is good

Any ideas?

Is The Importance of being Ernest pre-1930's? That has some funny scenes in it.

Not sure I could bare it though

Yes, Ernest -esp the final scene if you explain that the na,me'Ernest' was slang for being gay.

I'm Ernest!
No, I'm Ernest! etc.

Sheridan's Rivals?
Peter Pan?
Blithe Spirit - maybe too late?

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
