What's the story?
The Samuel French website provides this neat summary of When Did You Last See Your Trousers?:
‘This hilarious farce begins quietly enough with Howard and Penny asleep. A burglar climbs through the window and steals various items, including Howard's suit. Awakening, Howard announces his intention to get back to the wife! But how can he in only vest and underpants? Before you can say "jockey shorts" he is being chased around the flat by his Danish au pair, the Home Secretary and a randy constable who doubles as a flasher. Add to this a punk with rainbow coloured hair, a gravelly voice Captain and a singing telegram Gorilla and you have the ingredients for a night of outrageous fun!’
This 1987 touring production starred William Gaunt, Michael Sharvell-Martin, Susie Blake and Lia Williams.
