Leicester Drama Society

Main House

Synopsis

Important – Please note that the usual times for standard LDS plays on Saturdays have changed this season to 14:00 and 18:30. Monday to Friday shows remain at 19:30.

When the imperious, embittered Mrs Bramson learns that her young maid Dora is pregnant, she summons the child’s presumed father to her bungalow. The young man, Dan, is charming but mysterious. Could he be responsible for the recent murder and beheading of a local woman, and could Mrs Bramson be his next victim?

Skilfully, Dan insinuates himself into Mrs Bramson’s affections and attempts to seduce her sceptical niece, Olivia. Despite strong suspicions of Dan’s diabolical intentions, Olivia finds herself attracted to, and fascinated by, the young man.

If you go down to the woods today, the advice is to stay away from wealthy widows, scorned suitors and charming, smooth-talking hotel bellboys! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Emlyn Williams’ classic thriller, a hit on stage and screen, provides thrills and surprises for audiences of any era.
