This classic black comedy may be best known as a
1950s Ealing film, but its stage adaptation has
nonetheless garnered plenty of praise too, enjoying
a sell-out season in the London West End. For those
unfamiliar with the legendary Alec Guinness film, it
tells the story of a sweet little old lady, alone in her
house, who finds herself pitted against a gang of
criminal misfits intent on pulling off a brilliantly conceived
heist. The Play What I Wrote director Sean
Foley is the man at the helm, while Clive Mantle,
Chris McCalphy, William Troughton, Shaun
Williamson and Michelle Dotrice star.
