‘Ladies in Retirement’ a thriller by Edward Percy & Reginald Denham, directed by Ian Carr. Tuesday 7th – Saturday 11th November 2023 at 7.30pm
Ian Carr (who was Mr. Myers QC in Witness for the Prosecution) directs this exciting story.
Based on a famous 19th century murder, Ladies in Retirement is arguably the finest stage thriller ever written, one which continues to chill and excite audiences.
In a remote house on the marches of the Thames estuary, Leonora Fiske, an ex actress lives with her companion Ellen Creed. When Ellens two elderly sisters visit to escape the London blitz, there is little to suggest what lies ahead. As the eccentric guests make themselves at home, Leonora’s patience wears thin, requesting that they leave but after a bitter row it is Leonora who vanishes.
The arrival of the Creed sisters nephew Albert, on the run from the Police only adds to the mystery and suspense. As Albert gradually pieces together the series of events, he must hope that the eerie moonlight pantomime murder he stages to trap the murderer succeeds before he becomes the next victim.
