Written by the “Master of Farce” Ray Cooney, this Olivier Award-winning play
follows a chaotic evening in a Westminster hotel, where Tory Junior Minister
Richard Willey attempts to meet one of the Opposition’s secretaries – only for
events to spiral out of control when they discover a body trapped in a sash window.
With the help of his well-meaning but hapless private secretary George, Willey’s
situation quickly unravels, with interruptions from hotel staff, spouses and a disgruntled nurse adding to the confusion.
The production is being staged by Stone Revellers, one of the area’s longest-established theatre companies, and features a cast and crew drawn from across the local community.
Rob Stanway, Chairman of Stone Revellers, said:
“We’re really excited to bring this show to Crown Wharf. It’s a genuinely laugh-out-loud comedy and a brilliant night out for audiences.”
“We’ve got a fantastic team working on this production and it’s already shaping up to be something special.”

reputation for high-quality local productions.
