The Marlborough Dramatic Club's Spring 2025 production is Graham Linehan's stage version of the classic Ealing Studios film comedy 'The Ladykillers' directed by William Wells.
This production will be in memory of Kevin Wright. 'The Ladykillers' is a classic black comedy; a sweet little old lady, alone in her house, is pitted against a gang of criminal misfits who will stop at nothing. Posing as amateur musicians, Professor Marcus and his gang rent rooms in the lopsided house of sweet but strict Mrs Wilberforce. The villains plot to involve her, unwittingly, in Marcus' brilliantly conceived heist job. The police are left stumped but Mrs Wilberforce becomes wise to their ruse and Marcus concludes that there is only one way to keep the old lady quiet. With only her parrot, General Gordon, to help her, Mrs Wilberforce is alone with five desperate men. But who will be forced to face the music?
The Marlborough Dramatic Club's production will be held on the Memorial Hall stage back at Brentwood School 10-12 April 2025. (Thursday and Friday 7:30pm, Saturday matinee 2:30pm).
