Murder by Misadventure
by Edward Taylor

Directed by Paul Lay

14-21 October 1995 (7 performances)

The team of Harry Kent and Paul Riggs has won numerous awards and has made lots of money. Harry has saved and invested his earnings and now lives with his glamorous wife in a sun drenched luxury flat high above the Sussex coast, where the play is set. It is a hi tech paradise with only one snag, it is build on the site of an ancient British sacrificial stone where black magic was once practiced and strange noises can be heard during in the night. Paul has wasted his money on booze and birds, and lives in constant fear of his bookies' heavies. Harry wants to break up the partnership that Paul views as a lifeline, but Paul knows a sinister secret from Harry's past. They are therefore locked together in a macabre dance through which murder seems the only escape - a murder much like the "the perfect crime" they have just plotted for their latest movie...
