Brook Theatre, Chatham
One pleasant
afternoon in the summer of 1858, the gentle tea-room of the Mayfair
Hotel, London is the last place one would expect a murder.
Major James
Hornby, who has recently returned from Northern India where he
commanded a regiment fighting off the ‘Indian rebellion’
of May 1857, is having tea with his prospective parents-in-law,
Lord and Lady Snitchworth, and their daughter, his fiancé,
Emily.
Whilst exchanging
pleasantries with another table, where acquaintances Lawrence
Kingly and Caprius Smith from the recently dissolved East India
Company are sipping Darjeeling tea, Mahil, manservant to Major
James Hornby, interrupts the afternoon pleasantries
with a telegram that changes everything…
In a mystery
full of jealousy, intrigue and fabulously expensive jewels at
the heart of the matter, it will be a matter for the ‘little
grey
cells’ to catch a cold-blooded murderer.
