082 - The Devil Was Sick (1980)

By KENNETH HORNE
A woman arrives at the vicarage and tells the vicar that she is married to his father - and that the woman who was his mother was married bigamously. There is a large sum that has been left by the vicar's father and with no will it will go to the first wife.

081 - Tomb With A View (1980)

By NORMAN ROBBINS
A Tomb With A View is set in a sinister, old library presided over by a portrait of a grim faced, mad-eyed old man. There, a dusty, lawyer reads a will (involving a vast fortune) to an equally sinister family - one has werewolf tendencies, another wanders around in a toga of Julius Caesar, and a third is a gentle old lady who plants more than seeds in her flower beds. By the Third Act, there are more corpses than live members left in the cast. And what about the sympathetic nurse and the author of romantic novels? All is revealed as the plot twists and turns to its surprising conclusion!

This is the first in "The Tomb Trilogy". The others are
2. Tiptoe Thro' The Tombstones (Performed in 2004)
3. Prepare To Meet Thy Tomb (Not Performed by us)

080 - How The Other Half Loves (1979)

By ALAN AYCKBOURN
There are three couples. One of the younger men is having an affair with the wife of the oldest, and when each returns home suspiciously late one night or early one morning they invent a story about having to spend some time smoothing domestic matters in the home of the third couple. Of course, the third couple have to show up to put the fat in the fire, but that complication only adds to the fun.
