Peter James script was really brought to life by Sutton Arts, playing to a full house who appreciated all the hard work put into this production. I do have to compliment the set designers and builders for this production as they managed to put four rooms onto the stage.
Victor (Richard Cogzell) and Joan (Jayne Lunn) are very unhappily married. In fact they plan to murder each other. Victor is seeing Kamila (Kate Lowe) while Joan is seeing Don Kirk (Giles Whorton). Don spoke a lot in rhyming slang even through he came from Birmingham. When Joan hits Victor over the head with a hammer and kills him (or does she), their new freezer comes in very useful to store his body for Don to dispose of later. Its up to Detective Constable Roy Grace (Chris Commander) and physic Kamila to workout what really happened.
The stage crew worked well in between the scenes and the lighting really helped the mood of the production.
Stuart Goodwin did a sterling job with the very talented cast.
