How it Hang, It Swing! is set in theposh district of Pax Vale, Santa Cruz, the home of the deputy mayor of Port of Spain, who has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound, four couples are about to experience a severe attack of Ridiculousness. Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in his bedroom and his wife is no where in sight. His lawyer, Ken and wife Chris must get "the story" straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and mis-communications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. Guaranteed laughs and non-stop bacchanal from beginning to end.
