This hilarious farce, written by Ray Cooney, starts with the discovery of a dead body in a hotel room by a married Conservative MP who is spending the evening there with a female secretary from the Labour party. The interventions of a concerned hotel manager and an intrusive waiter cause the MP to call for the assistance of his Parliamentary Private Secretary to sort the mess out. When the MP's wife, the secretary's husband and the PPS's mother's nurse appear, the situation tumbles deeper into hilarious chaos.
This brilliantly written play, by the master of farce, provides a riotous evening of entertainment with laugh following laugh as the characters try to dig themselves out of the sticky situation they put themselves in, in the first place.
