"Disposing of the Body"

by Hugh Whitemore

Directed by Angela Wetherill

From the pen of the playwright who gave us "Pack of Lies" and "Breaking the Code" comes this elegant and tantalising new play. For Henry Preece, embarking on early retirement with his attractive wife, things start to unravel. "All my life", he says, "I've either been looking back at happy times that have gone or looking forward to the happiness to come." When an unexpected passion is given full rein Henry realises that the door he's just flung open should have remained tightly shut. This is an intriguing play, full of unexpected happenings.
