Lighthouse Theatre

‘Friends? I can’t afford friends in this town – you lose too many working days going to the funerals’ Aberystwyth in the old days, was no Babylon. That was where it all happened: the bars, dives, the gambling dens, the 24-hour whelk stall, and Sospan’s ice-cream kiosk.- It was Louie Knight’s job to keep the streets clean; well, as clean as possible anyway…

Join Louie Knight, Calamity and Myfanwy on the mean streets of Aberystwyth in this dark but highly comic detective adventure.

There are schoolboys disappearing all over Aberystwyth; and nobody knows why. Ace detective, Louie Knight, and his side-kick Calamity soon realise that it will take more than a double scoop of raspberry ripple from Sospan’s ice-cream stall or a cone from the 24 hour whelk stall to solve this mystery. What has it to do with the Druids? Where does the sadistic games teacher Herod Jenkins fit in? And just who exactly was Gwenno Gueavara?

Prepare to visit the world of ‘Welsh Noir’ in this brand new stage adaptation of the smash hit comedy crime fiction novel.
