Turkey Time (play)

Ralph Lynn and Tom Walls in Turkey Time, 1931

Turkey Time is a farce by Ben Travers. It was one of the series of Aldwych farces that ran nearly continuously at the Aldwych Theatre in London from 1923 to 1933. The story concerns two guests, staying at the Stoatt household for Christmas, who offer shelter to a pretty concert performer left stranded when her employer absconds, leaving his cast unpaid.

The piece opened on 26 May 1931 and ran for 263 performances until 16 January 1932.[1] A film adaptation of the play was made in 1933.
