[General] have/ lay/ send somebody rolling in the aisles

[vil]

Dear teachers,

Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?

We locked forward to a school play which would really lay them in the aisles.

have/ lay/ send somebody rolling in the aisles = carry someone off his feet

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

V

No.

'Have them rolling in the aisles' means 'make them helpless with laughter'.
