Orders Are Orders (play)

Orders Are Orders is a farcical play written by British playwright Ronald Jeans. First produced in 1932, the play is a comedy centered around the disruption caused to a stately home when a film crew arrives to shoot a movie. The premise typically involves mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and the clash between the aristocratic owners of the house and the often eccentric members of the film production. The humor derives from the chaos and misunderstandings that arise from these interactions, often satirizing both the upper class and the film industry. Orders Are Orders has been a popular choice for amateur theatre groups and has seen numerous revivals since its initial production.
