This riotously funny farce centres on the efforts of eight party guests to spare their unfortunate host, and themselves, from scandal.
It opens with Ken and Chris who have found their host Charley, a prominent Government official, in his bedroom, too dazed to speak, with a bullet wound in his ear lobe! His wife, Vivian, and a domestic help are nowhere to be seen.
Len and Claire arrive, themselves injured in a car crash, and are soon joined by Ernest and Cookie and Glenn and Cassie, each with their own problems.
Following a second, accidental, gunshot that leaves Ken temporarily deaf, the police arrive. Len, drawing the short straw, pretends he is Charley and concocts a touching and fantastic explanation
The action of the play takes place in the living-room of a large house outside London on an evening in May.
Ages: Adult humour.
