For Better, For Worse
The director of this production, together with three of the actors (including the two leads), moved on a few weeks later to the West End production [qv]. The character of Sheila was dropped in the transition from Windsor to London.

Play description
“A slight but humorous piece. What it lacks in subtlety it makes up in slapstick, witty phrases and extravagant coincidence. Marriage on a shoestring budget in a one-room flat lends itself to such comedy.” – Belfast News-Letter 5th October 1954 (page 5)
