Redbridge Stage Company

Take a gambler with debts and a pregnant wife. Take a parson who has mislaid £200 of church money and another pregnant wife. Take a bookie who is about to collect the gambler's debts..... and also has a pregnant wife.  Put them all together and the wives produce five babies between them. Put a few heads together, then claim that one of the wives produced all five babies. Result? An imaginary set of quins and a fortune in money .....or not, as the case may be.
