This play was tremendous fun to do. Boris Smolenski, the self obsessed Director of a tacky two-bit Whodunnit "Murder at Priorswell Manor" (Played by Andy Jameson, R) is trying desperately to prise a performance from his cast of utterly incompetent actors

Playing wooden and incompetent actors proved to be less of a challenge to some of us than others! The play centres on the backstabbing, self obsession and sexual politics which sometimes surrounds the lower echelons of the acting profession.

Here we see Renee, the "Star" of the show and a deeply unpleasant character (played by the more pleasant Marcia Baldry) blackmailing the bumbling Harrison (the not bumbling David Faithfull), an accident prone old buffer, over his fondness for the bottle.

The usual arguments between old and young, male and female, rising and falling stars, are dramatically interrupted when Renee is poisoned in real life.
