Chief Inspector Kenrick and Constable Lloyd are summoned to investigate the mysterious death of ?The Old Lady?. On arrival they come across a bizarre collection of suspicious individuals, each of whom has an axe to grind and a past to hide...?Young Bill? ? a rogue if ever there was one, heir to the Goodison fortune, prodigal son returned after running away to London years ago.

Rarely seen, but visits occasionally to give his blessing to Young Bill?s madcap financial schemes for the property and staff.Lord Grantchester ? Local nobility, rumoured to disapprove of Young Bill?s antics, and to have harboured an unrequited love for the deceased. Could this romantic attachment be leading him to force Young Bill out?Old Moyes ? dour Scots butler, outwardly loyal to Young Bill, but circumspect in his praise, and Calvinist disapproval of antics at Goodison silenced by a handsome salary. Keeps tight rein on household expenses, mainly by ensuring that little more than cold cuts and thin gruel are served at the Goodison table.Cap?n Pip ? aged retainer, kept on the staff at Old Moyesie?s insistence. Shouts. Points. Claps hands. Offers no other obvious service to the running of the estate.Mad Doddy ? village idiot. Keeps telling anyone who will listen that the Old Lady isn?t dead at all.Events take a turn for the dramatic when a local peasant, Tony of the Marsh, bursts into the house to accuse everyone of the murder.

All will be revealed when you go and see the West End smash hit ?The Moyestrap? ? already with a ten-year unbroken run on the stage, and no sign that the curtain will come down anytime soon! Tickets available at the box office now. If you can get through......
