Description Fashioned from the ingeniously absurd plot of the 1907 novel by Roy Horniman titled 'Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal' it first inspired the classic 1949 Alec Guinness comedy film 'Kind Hearts and Coronets'.As 'A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder' with which it shares the conceit of casting one actor as an entire family, it transforms itself into an hilarious satire on Edwardian melodrama set in English Music Hall format, the perfect performance style for this adorably wicked show. A witty musical about a serial killer and despite the high body count, this delightful show will I'm sure lift the hearts of you all, for it's fresh and tremendously entertaining.
