The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley by David Tristram is a return to the hilarious Little Grimley sagas. The ‘famous four’ are back to tackle yet another threat to their theatrical survival – this time in the shape of a rival am-dram.
They devise an ingenious military-style plan that doesn’t quite go to plan. The odds are stacked against them and it all looks a little grim for little Grimley. But it’s never over …. until the Fat Lady sings
Whodidit? by Neil Harrison, set in the 1920’s, is a rather bawdy parody of the Agatha Christie murder mystery with a richly drawn gallery of ridiculous yet recognisable characters. The arrogant novelist husband, his absurdly conventional wife, his mad uncle and a very strange butler - to name but a few.
A country house is thrown into chaos as an innuendo-obsessed inspector struggles to uncover the identity of the killer before anyone else meets their untimely end. It is absurd, mysterious and packed with daft gags.
