Details

A thunderstorm, a windswept country house, a family of failures - a detective who has never solved a case, a writer, an artist and a composer whose work has never been aired in public, a dysfunctional teenager - wrangling over a bequest. All prime ingredients for a murder mystery thriller in the traditional mould. But this thriller is by Alan Ayckbourn and has within it a number of surprises. The victim is not who we at first believe it will be. The murderer could be one of three people (the identity of whom could change every night). The thrills are leavened throughout with tongue-in-cheek humour and slyly ironic comment.
