Show Info

Written and Directed by Alan Ayckbourn

With Eileen Battye, Terence Booth, Phil Cheadle, Matthew Cottle, Richard Derrington, Frances Grey, Amy Loughton, and Alexandra Mathie

Things are not right on The Bluebell Hill Development. Theft, petty crime, vandalism, all the ills of modern suburban existence are on the increase. Newcomers Martin and his sister Hilda are the crime wave's latest victims and resolve to take action. After all, the law of the land, all that's right and proper, and even God Himself are surely on their side. 

But what starts out as a well intentioned neighborhood watch scheme soon develops into something altogether more sinister. 

The New York premiere of Alan Ayckbourn's 75th play is a hilarious cautionary tale of the dangers of taking the law into your own hands.
