SYNOPSIS: Aspiring performer Daphne Prescott and her faithful maid and companion, Greta Gump, are stranded on a deserted road in the English countryside. The ladies soon find themselves guests of the cursed Hatchett House, a creepy old manor with a peculiar history and even more peculiar inhabitants. Lord Esmond Hatchett seems to be highly sensitive to light and noise and deep in mourning for his late wife, while the rest of the family has morbid quirks of their own. Daphne may be in for more than she bargained for in this easy to stage, delightfully comedic thriller reminiscent of the classic 1960’s horror film.
