At The Sign Of The Crippled Harlequin

November 26, 2013 to November 30, 2013

By Norman Robbins

Directed by Linda Cheshire

"The Crippled Harlequin", once an old coaching inn but now renamed "Peak Lodge", is a small boarding house in the Peak District.  Guests are arriving for a short but restful Christmas break.  But it is far from restful as the proprietors, Sally and Bryan Lockwood, are soon to find out.  The guests from hell have arrived in the form of Joan and Lionel Reece, one of the guests is found dead in suspicious circumstances, and Derk Tyndale, a regular to Peak Lodge, swears he saw the ghost of a harlequin commit a murder!

In true Norman Robbins style, the mystery rolls along with shocks and laughs right to the unexpected end...........
