It’s set in as sinister an old library as one is ever likely to come across, presided over by a portrait of a grim faced, mad eyed old man. There, a dusty lawyer reads a will (involving some millions of pounds) to an equally sinister family, one member of which has werewolf tendencies, another wanders around in a toga of Julius Caesar and a third member is a gentle old lady who plants more than seeds in her flower beds. By the third act, there are more corpses than live members left in the cast and then there’s a sympathetic nurse and the author of romantic novels. Are they all what they seem? All is revealed as the plot twists and turns to its surprising conclusion. Tickets £7 Thursday, £9 Friday and Saturday, available from Costume Crazy Fancy Dress in Winslow or call 01296 712728.www.winslowplayers.co.uk5 MusicAylesbury Lunchtime Music, Church of St Mary the Virgin, 12.45pm tomorrow (Thursday)Harpist Gwenllian will present a varied and stunning selection including Elias Parish-Alvars, Andre Caplet, Liszt and Debussy.
