The Ladykillers

Based on the famous Ealing Comedy, this award-winning stage adaptation by Graham Linehan, writer of Father Ted and The IT Crowd, fizzes with fun.

Criminal mastermind, Professor Marcus, and his gang of oddball villains posing as musicians, meet their match when they hire rooms in the dilapidated house of Mrs. Wilberforce. A convenient location to plan their heist, they suppose their sweet-natured old landlady will be easily hoodwinked. But beneath her demure exterior, Mrs Wilberforce is made of sterner stuff and, with just parrot, General Gordon, for moral support, she turns the tables on the bogus quintet.

A magical reworking of this iconic comedy has created an inventive and hilarious production, which is blessed with a stellar company.
