From the Motion Picture Screenplay by William Rose by Special Arrangement with StudioCanal and by Special Arrangement with Fiery Angel Ltd. London.

This amateur production of The Ladykillers is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD.

Based on the much-loved Ealing Comedy, this award-winning stage adaptation by Graham Linehan, writer of Father Ted and The IT Crowd, is brimming with blackly comic characters and hilarious banter. Posing as amateur musicians, criminal mastermind Professor Marcus and his gang rent rooms in the lopsided house of sweet-natured Mrs Wilberforce.

The villains plot to involve her, unwittingly, in their brilliantly conceived heist job, but Mrs Wilberforce is made of sterner stuff and with just her parrot, General Gordon, for moral support, she turns the tables on the bogus band.

This production is sponsored by Disken Co. Solicitors inc. J. Bryan Smith &Co.
