‘And Then There Were Five’
The cinema has overbooked Santas!
After an ‘incident’ last year, the usual Santa, Russell Sprout, has not been re- employed. The Assistant Manager, Chris Moss, held interviews and offered the
job to a new actor, Michael Bauble, but, unfortunately, he was found dead last week, so a new replacement has been sought.
After several failures the Assistant Manager has decided to do the job himself,
but unknown to him, other staff members have also found replacements with the result that tonight we have five Santas!
Then one is murdered …
Tickets are £65 per head, including a three-course dinner and arrival drink.
