A madcap modern British farce* about John Smith, a cab driver with two wives and two homes, and a very precisely planned schedule for juggling them. Trouble brews when John is injured and briefly hospitalized, and both wives report him missing to two different police departments. With the help of his lazy upstairs neighbor Stanley, John tries to keep his double life from exploding by hastily improvising a tangled web of lies to explain himself to his two wives and two suspicious detectives.
*Please Note: Run For Your Wife is a “bedroom farce.” It contains sexual innuendo (for comedic effect) and a small amount of vulgar language, and is intended for mature audiences.
