No Sex Please, We're British is a fast-paced British farce centered on a newly married bank clerk and his wife who find their quiet domestic life thrown into chaos after he unwittingly orders a subscription to Scandinavian glamour photographs by mail, mistaking the catalog for something entirely innocent. As increasingly explicit and outrageous packages keep arriving, and threaten to be discovered by disapproving relatives, nosy neighbors, and the young man's bank superiors, the couple scrambles through a frantic series of hiding places, cover stories, and near-misses to keep the scandalous material concealed. The farce escalates with classic doors-slamming, mistaken-identity physical comedy as more and more characters become entangled in the couple's efforts at damage control. Its title plays on the stereotype of buttoned-up British propriety being comically at odds with the increasingly absurd and risque mess the characters must conceal. A long-running hit in London's West End, the play's relentless pacing and broad comic set pieces have made it a popular choice for companies looking for a raucous, audience-pleasing farce.
