Fox on the Fairway: “A Fox on the<br />

about love, life, and man’s<br />
eternal love affair with … golf.” Running<br />
from Wednesday, January 9<br />
through Sunday, February 3, the<br />
show takes audiences on a hilarious<br />
romp, which “pulls the rug out from<br />
underneath the stuffy denizens of a<br />
private country club.” A Fox on the<br />
Fairway” is a tribute from Ken Ludwig<br />
to the great English farces of the<br />
1930s and 1940s filled with mistaken<br />
identities, slamming doors, and over<br />
the top romantic shenanigans. A Fox<br />
on the Fairway will be shown at the<br />
Meadow Brook Theatre, Michigan’s<br />
largest producing theater located on<br />
the campus of Oakland University. To<br />
