She Follows Me About is a comedy play by the British writer Ben Travers. A farce, it premiered at the Theatre Royal, Birmingham before transferring to the Garrick Theatre in London's West End where it ran for 196 performances between 15 October 1943 and 18 March 1944.[1] The West End cast included Robertson Hare, Basil Radford, Joyce Heron, Percy Parsons, Gordon James, Aubrey Mallalieu, Pauline Tennant and Catherine Lacey. The plot revolved around a Vicar who unwittingly discovers that his camera has photographs of two nude WAAFS on it, taken as part of a mischievous dare.[2][3]
In 1970 it was adapted by the BBC for an episode of Ben Travers' Farces featuring Arthur Lowe and Richard Briers.[4] It was the only one of seven episodes not be based on one of the playwright's pre-war Aldwych Farces.
