THE LADYKILLERS

The Ladykillers is a 1955 Ealing Comedy featuring five oddball criminals planning a bank robbery and an octogenarian widow, Mrs Wilberforce. In 2012 The Ladykillers was adapted for the stage by Graham Linehan and we performed it in 2015. In this scene the plan begins to unravel for our gang of bank-robbers and Mrs Wilberforce realises that her lodgers are not in fact amateur musicians but hardened criminals. From here on there is only one course of action – the old dear has to die! She is, of course, the only survivor.
