The play uses the unravelling of the mystery of a broken friendship to explore the nature of memory and its impact on behaviour. |

His inept murderous career continues with yet another wedding postponement for his ultimately and inevitably failed attempt to construct an exploding carriage clock to get rid of the Dean of Chichester. Of course, there's a happy ending, but which would you prefer - a murder, or a wedding? |
