There Goes The Bride, The New Egerton Players, Egerton United Reform Church. Until Saturday

STRESSED advertising executive Tim Westerby (Jonathan Simmons) should be focusing on the wedding day of his daughter Judy (Anna Warburton).

But instead he's obsessing about a 1920s-themed promotional drive he's working on for Perkins Bras.

So when he suffers a bang on the head and starts thinking he can see Polly Perkins -- the glamorous star of his campaign, who is invisible to the rest of his family -- imagination and reality collide, with hilarious results.

It sounds a thin idea. But writers Ray Cooney and John Chapman have created a cleverly-structured farce that never flags.

It's well handled here by a strong ensemble cast, excellently led by Jonathan Simmons as the ad-exec.

This is one bride worth catching.
