Everybody has surely dreamed of running away from it all, to hide away from all known responsibilities and start afresh somewhere new, somewhere where they can never be found and where the grass can grow under their feet in perfect isolation.  It either takes a lot of money, a lot of guts or the sheer force of will to make it happen…or you can buy a canoe, fake your own death and end up in a force ten hurricane with a picture of former Cuban President Fidel Castro looking at you with accusing stares and your children disowning you. Such is life on the open waves when you start Canoeing for Beginners.

Bedroom farce has always been a favourite of British audiences; it seeps out of the psyche like a cream doughnut being squeezed teasingly in the playful hands of an artist but with much embarrassed sniggering accompanying it. Bedroom farce is what passes unashamedly as the way to view the British and the habits they employ in the art of love making, lots of innuendo but the frightened reserve of a shell shocked rabbit.
