Laughing to Death; When a Typewriter Takes Murder Requests

Two TV scriptwriters, Lucky Wilson and Chick Wade, are working on a murder mystery script at Leverdale Hall, a supposedly haunted mansion. When murders they write into their script occur in real life, they discover their typewriter has clairvoyant powers. Testing its capabilities, they write bizarre scenarios—whisky stills, forged banknotes, and additional murders—all of which materialize. As they plot a brighter future for themselves, disaster strikes when the typewriter meets an untimely demise. This comedy-thriller, full of British farce, rollicking humor, and clever dialogue, showcases the chaotic and hilarious consequences of creativity running wild.

Inspector Drake and the Perfekt Crime

16 May – 1 June 2025

The legendary Inspector Drake is back to face his greatest challenge, as he gropes for the answer to the perfect crime – groping some of the suspects along the way!! 

Written by David Tristram, this is the perfect comedy from the master of crime.  Will an audience be able to solve this whodunit or will they be dying of laughter? 

When a genius commits a murder, the plan is perfect.  But, is it foolproof?  The indomitable Inspector Drake attempts to unravel a plot with more twists in it than, well, a really twisty thing! 

Who is the mysterious Doctor Short and why did he marry a wolf?

Has he murdered his fourth wife – or did she murder him first?

Has he really got two daughters named Sabrina, or is one of them telling ‘porkies’?

Where is Frank, the taxi driver?

What was the Pope doing in the woods?

These are just some of the questions facing the world’s most famous dick, all with the help of Sergeant Plod, who is Drake’s Watson and is everything Watson isn’t, including stupid!

The play contains some moderate language and sexual references in the vein of Blackadder and Faulty Towers.

Show runs over three weekends with Friday and Saturday night performances and Sunday matinees.
