The 1970s farce cast seem to be keeping secrets. Who would go as far as murder to protect themselves? Stars Bill Nighy.

Charles Paris is starring in a 1970s farce.

It might as well be a whodunnit with an old friend murdered during rehearsals.

The cast seem to have secrets they don't want shared, but who would go as far as murder to protect themselves?

The actor-cum-amateur sleuth is determined to find out.

Staring Bill Nighy.
