Initimate revue.
Performed by a cast of four couples who were married in real life, Mr and Mrs presented a series of sketches and songs focusing on relationships between men and woman, and on love and marriage. Some of the material was of a personal nature, while other sketches explored imagined or topical scenarios. In 'Whaco Monaco', for example, writer Dudley Goldman spoofed the approaching wedding of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier.
