Talisman Theatre present a great comedy classic for the autumn

The Ladykillers is a classic black comedy; a sweet little old lady, alone in her house, is pitted against five oddball criminals who'll stop at nothing.

The plot is centred around the septuagenarian Mrs Wilberforce, who accommodates Professor Marcus, a very keen amateur musician, in her very creaky and subsided Victorian house, at the end of a cul-de-sac near to Kings Cross St Pancras station.

Mrs Wilberforce is thrilled to not only have a talented musician in her lodgings, but also to have another four equally gifted violinists and cello aficionados join the Professor in their rehearsals of the Boccherini Minuet, practised in the room lodged out to the Professor.

But what Mrs Wilberforce doesn't know is that the five musicians are actually planning a security van heist, and manage to successfully execute the robbery and get her to deliver the loot safely back to the house, assisted by the local constabulary, all in absolute ignorance. And this is where the fun really ensues!
