‘- Tell me about yourself Miss?

- Miss Rose Turner.  I have been working as Lord Shaftsbury’s secretary for almost a year now, and what is it you do for a living?

- A girl doesn’t mind how a guy makes a living, just how he makes love.

- If I’m honest Sir, you’re about as romantic as a brick to the head.‘

Two distracted actors and a radio play with live Foley sound effects - what could possibly go wrong? This farcical mess is full of confused romances and misheard instructions. That’s just behind the scenes. A noir detective gets invited to a lonely English village, full of friendly locals and terrifying children. Will the detective find out the crime? Will the actors ever work out where the script is going?
