 | They're vagrants& squatters& drop-outs& best avoided by decent people. But what are they really like? How do they see themselves? See us? Five modern day squatters about to be evicted set off across town to a new squat in Canterbury Road. Like the Canterbury Pilgrims, as they go they tell or re-enact their often shocking stories - murder, prositution, crime and betrayal. Whether true or false, they reveal more about themselves than they intended. Combining humour with realism, the play has strong parts for five actors and climaxes in a Chaucerian ending. | |||||

| Synopsis: | Murder In All Innocence is a murder comedy which opens with the death of the Vicar in the one-set drawing room at the start of Mrs Wentworth's dreaded drinks soiree. But who murdered him, and why? The poison was not in the hostess's hard-to-forget dandelion and burdock wine but from the bottle of red wine she uncharacteristically bought from the do-it-yourself shop. And have all her guests been poisoned, including Miss Maypole and Mr Herman Porrich? Agatha Christie may not be amused, if she were still with us, but audiences will be. Murder takes almost second place as an inept Police inspector arrives and the characters are side-tracked by their own idiosyncrasies. And the surprise ending is&well&.something to die for! | |||||
