A Fox on the Fairway

A farce by Ken Ludwig

Directed by Sean Anderson

Presented at the Pumphouse Theatre
October 2 to 10, 2026

A tribute to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, A Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp pulling the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man’s eternal love affair with… golf.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

Justin – (Male presenting, 20s-30s) A socially awkward young man who also happens to be low handicap golfer. In real life, his nervousness and uncertainties often overtake his actions.

Louise – (Female presenting, 20s-30s) A perfect match for Justin in that she, too, possesses some naive, awkward social graces. She is sexy and sweet and very proud of her accomplishments, but is also given to extreme reactions to set backs. She cries a lot.

Bingham – (Male presenting, 30s-50s) The owner of the Quail Valley Country Club. He has been frustrated by years of a mismatched marriage and is intimidated by his wife while mooning over his former love interest, Pamela.

Pamela – (Female presenting, 30s-50s) The somewhat cynical divorcee who has left Dickie (Director of the Crouching Squirrel) behind. She is the helper, the fixer upper of things gone bad, the object of Bingham’s devotion.

Dickie – (Male presenting, 30s-50s) The insufferable bore who is the Director of the Crouching Squirrel. He dresses loudly and tastelessly meaning that his appearance matches his personality.

Muriel – (Female presenting, 30s-50s) The overbearing wife of Bingham. When she is in the room she sucks all of the oxygen out of the space.
