To be read by awl on Monday 16th June 2008

This light-hearted whodunnit tells of  the circumstances that have led to Cyril (64), the tyrannical husband of Olive (60) and father of George (37), being found dead in his bed at the beginning of the play. George and Olive are far from unhappy at the situation, and though the quality of their lives is greatly improved, they run into problems involving a dodgy solicitor, a charming, impeccably behaved elderly undertaker (also from a somewhat tyrannical family), an astutely inquisitive detective sergeant.
