The Ladykillers By Graham Linehan

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.
