The plot surrounds an assistant bank manager, Peter Hunter, who lives above his bank with his new bride Frances. Laughter is delivered by express mail in this zany farce about the trials and troubles of the mail-order shipping industry. The newlywed bride sends away for some Scandinavian glassware, which she can sell from her home to bolster the family's income. However, what arrives in the mail is so shocking that it must be hidden for obvious reasons. What will the neighbours think? The newlyweds certainly don't want anyone to find out and they create hysterical complications as they try and keep the ‘pleasure’ package away from some unexpected visitors: a nosy mother-in-law, a bank inspector, a police superintendent and a muddled friend who does everything wrong in his attempt to set everything right. The result is a dizzy string of madcap mix-ups and action-packed chaos that will receive a stamp of approval from audiences of all ages.

 Group score a hit with saucy sex romp.
YOU can't go wrong with a saucy sex romp. If the risqué plot doesn't bring on a dose of the convulsions then the double entendres certainly will.
The 1970s were the golden age of ever so slightly smutty humour with the Carry On films and the Confessions Of series but on stage there was one play that reigned supreme  No Sex Please We’re British. It was phenomenally successful running for 16 years in the West End and it has since become the staple diet of am-dram groups around the country. 
The Leighton Buzzard Drama Group dropped their trousers and their inhibitions when they staged the titillating comedy at Leighton Buzzard Theatre and it was obvious from the start that the cast were having as much fun on stage as we were in the audience. 
Of course it was very much a period piece and impossible to update but the nostalgia was hugely welcomed. 
Newly weds Frances and Peter Hunter set up home above a bank where the groom worked. 
To make a spot of extra cash the young bride answered an advert and buys a consignment of Swedish glassware and ceramics...but when the parcels started arriving from the import company it appears she had her hands full of Swedish porn
