Summary

There's no set to build, so it's perfect for festivals or an evening of one-act plays. All you need is just a little sprinkling of imagination and a collection of oddball props. There's even a non-speaking role for a props lady who's just bound to steal the show (and no lines to learn!)

This is the first time that Drake has appeared in a one-act format, so it's the ideal time to dip your toes into his surreal world and treat your audiences to something very different.

The plot, incidentally, is based (very loosely) on the screenplay of the original Inspector Drake movie
