When Murder Came to Tea
Directed by Maria Bates
Introduction
Lady Bessington-Bessington’s functions are always the talk of the town, and when Hack - a budding young reporter for the Daily Stuff - manages to sneak into the dinner party of the century, he bites off more than he can chew. Award-winning scientist, Doctor Bulb, is back from Antarctica and everyone has their eye on her brilliant brain. Colonel Bomb is looking for a new weapon to take on the world. Connie Crete needs help with her skyscrapers. Billionaire Buck Dollars III is sniffing around for the next big deal, and Monsieur Blousson has something in mind that will take the art world by storm. But perhaps the most startling and mysterious of all Her Ladyship’s guests is one that will change their lives forever... As they tuck into the main course, a dark and deadly intruder creeps up the tree-lined gravel driveway... A visitor they never expected... A grim figure who is not on the guest list... A shocking thing that can only be called... MURDER.
