About the Show
By Norman Robbins. Directed by Martin Dale. Monday 26th February - Friday 1st March 2024 at 8 p.m. Saturday 2nd March at 3 p.m. This comedy thriller is set in as-sinister-an-old-library as one is likely to come across, presided over by a portrait of a grim-faced old man. There, a dusty lawyer reads a will, involving some millions of pounds, to an equally sinister family. One member has werewolf tendencies, another wanders around in a toga of Julius Caesar, and a third member is a gentle old lady who plants more than seeds in the flower beds… By the third act, there are more corpses than live members left in the cast - and what about the sympathetic nurse and the author of romantic novels? Are they all more than they seem to be? All is revealed as the plot twists and turns to its surprising conclusion. The production was a sell-out at Theatre 62.
