This year’s British drawing room farce at St. Jacob’s Country Playhouse is a collaboration by Ray Cooney and Tony Hilton called One for the Pot. The title sounds like a tea party. However, it is actually a seething cauldron of class consciousness and mistaken identity that steeps into hilarity. Mill owner Jonathan Hardcastle, has ten thousand Pounds to give to Billy Hickory Wood (Steve Ross) who is the only known surviving child of a former business partner. The other children were a collection of spend thrifts who bled their father dry. The catch is that the gift will only be made if Billy Hickory Wood is the only surviving child. To prove this legally, Hardcastle advertises for others to come forward. The plan starts to unravel as succession of look-alike Hickory Woods arrive from the most surprising places. Apparently Jonathan Hardcastle’s former business partner has “been around.” The plot becomes a race to buy off, or otherwise get rid of, the rival contenders in order to get the contract signed with the right “child.” This exercise proves to be just as difficult as it is to get the right person to sign on the dotted line. Most of the characters do not have a clue about the arrival of more than one Hickory Wood.
