The story line is that when the Prime Minister drops dead on the eve of a General Election, two Cabinet Ministers fearing defeat without the charisma of the PM, hire an out of work actor, a 'dead ringer' to take his place until the election is won. The actor grows to like his role until he discovers the real PM was poisened. Thereafter the thriller takes the audience from the early amusing fantasy world into murder and dark plots! It never ceases to amaze me how a group of about fifteen people bring all the aspects of theatre together to give a first-class interpretation of a "play of today"! It would be difficult to give special mention to any particular character as the actors all gave 100%. The set and properties were excellent - all made or provided by the group.
