Synopsis

Characters: 4 male, 6 female Interior Inspector Ruffing, the troubled hero of Nigro's Ravenscroft, Demonology, Creatures Lurking In The Churchyard, The Rooky Wood and Mephisto returns in this baffling mystery that was an audience favorite at the First International Mystery Festival in 2007.

In a peaceful house near the Welsh border, an entire family has vanished suddenly without a trace one evening with supper on the table and no apparent violence.

Ruffing's attempt to understand what's happened to a couple and their two daughters leads him deep into his own dark soul.

The only clue is a piece of paper left on a desk with the word 'Widdershins' written on it.

Beautiful women, dark secrets, the Impressionists and the Druids all figure in this unusual and thought provoking play.
