Show run: Oct 19-21, 26-28, 2007
Molly and Giles Ralston, who are celebrating their first wedding anniversary,
open a guest house just after the was and are hosts to a strange collection of
characters, one of course, a murderer and another, a victim.
Among the guests who arrive during a blinding snow storm are Christopher Wren,
a young architect who gets on Gile’s nerves while making up to Molly. Mrs. Boyle
is a sour ex workhouse matron who has more than a touch of cruelty about her.
Major Metcalf is the strong silent type and it’s his silence that makes him
mysterious. Miss Casewell is the slightly masculine type who has a lot of fun
at Mrs. Boyle’s expense. Mr. Paravicini, whose car broke down in the storm was
not expected, and can thoroughly explain his mysterious appearance. Sgt Trotter
is the last to arrive and is there to investigate a murder that took place
earlier in London.
