158 - Lord Arthur Saville's Crime (2008)

By CONSTANCE COX
Based on a short story by OSCAR WILDE
Lord Arthur is to be married, and his future mother-in-law, who rather disapproves of him, gets a famous palmist to read his palm to discover any skeletons in his cupboard.
Warned by the fortune teller that he will commit a murder, Lord Arthur determines to do it before he marries.
This proves to be harder than he had thought and after a number of failed attempts, with the aid of a foreign anarchist and his faithful butler, Baines, a surprising revelation comes to light, which results in a satisfying if not an immediate happy ending.

(This is the second time we performed this play. The first time was in 1994)
