Beyond a Joke

4 Males & 4 Females, various ages. This hilarious comedy is set in Andrew and Jane's pleasant country house, which might well be described as accident-prone. A number of people have already died there in unfortunate and embarrassing circumstances; but when their daughter's young man, Geoff, arrives for the weekend he is unaware of the house's reputation and, after a misunderstood conversation, he gets the idea that the deaths are due to something more sinister. When the local Vicar decides to visit for tea, Geoff feels it is his duty to protect him at all costs. Meanwhile, after the discovery of two more bodies, Jane and her sister-in-law persuade Andrew to keep up appearances by hiding the evidence with the use of their wheelbarrow! After a day of hectic mishaps Geoff is almost convinced that he has been mistaken, however the unexpected arrival of his parents only add to his and everyone else's problems!
