Plaster is falling down, loud noises are heard in the empty old 3 storey house; the setting of Alan Ayckbourn’s 1979 play which he describes as his ‘only real classic farce’. We meet Elizabeth, whom is at a crossroads with her unappreciative, alcoholic husband Roland, Elizabeth’s brother, Mark and his girlfriend Kitty, Leslie the landlord who is also the dodgy builder and Tristram, Roland’s poor excuse of a solicitor. As the play unfolds we see that it is not only the house thats collapsing but their relationships are also crumbling away. Their selfish ways results in them getting their ‘just deserts’ some more deserving than the others.

Two titans clash, one from the silver screen and one very famous crime writer, both strong willed and at the height of their fame. In the early 1960’s the Miss Marple films, that later went on to become worldwide successes, very nearly didn’t get made!
Queen of crime Agatha Christie didn’t want Miss Margaret Rutherford- ‘the funniest woman alive’-to play her fabled genteel amateur sleuth Miss Marple.
When you add in a mystery from Agatha’s past and a secret that Margaret has never revealed… well, you have sparkling cyanide indeed!
