What readers are saying
Readers appreciate the dark humor and farcical elements of the play, describing it as very good and entertaining. However, one comment suggests that it might be a bit too long with excessive reversals that could be reduced for a better experience.
Very dark and funnyHighly entertaining farcePerhaps too long
Synopsis
A brand new comedy by the writer of the hit play Stitching, published to tie in with the Royal Court's Christmas production from November 2002
Constables Blunt and Gobbel have one last duty to fulfil before they can finish their Christmas eve shift; telling the old couple at No. 58 some terrible news.
But what if the shock is too much for them?
Blunt and Gobbel didn't join up in order to ruin people's lives.
Maybe they'd be happier not knowing.
And maybe it would all be much easier if the two constables weren't also stuck in the middle of a full-scale village lynch-mob.
