By Derek Benfield

Directed by Con Galvin

A Rockhampton Little Theatre production.

Desperate to find a job, Henry Scrubb answers a Box Number advertisement in a newspaper, offering a “big financial reward” and requiring no qualifications. He does not really expect anything to come of it, but to his surprise the advertiser, a Mr Franklyn, does contact him and explains the conditions of the job. Franklyn needs, he says, someone to murder him. Henry, he believes, would be the right person to do it. He gives no reason for this strange request, but offers Henry a large sum of money if he will carry out his wishes. Henry refuses to have anything to do with the scheme and Franklyn goes away. That night, however, Franklyn is murdered.

From this exciting beginning, Derek Benfield builds a suspenseful drama that keeps the audience guessing until the very last moment.

There will be two intervals in this production.

Please note: Venue for this production is the Walter Reid Cultural Centre, Corner East and Derby Streets, Rockhampton.
