Bill James is on top form in this sharply satirical black comedy
set behind the scenes at a museum George Lepage, the new Director
of the Hulliborn Regional Museum and Gallery, has great hopes that
his tenure in the post will be short and profitable. He has visions
of early retirement, and perhaps - like his predecessor, and his
predecessor's predecessor - a knighthood. But circumstances do
their best to snatch his happy dreams away from him. First a
deranged former staff member causes a riot in the Folk Department,
and then three recently purchased, ruinously expensive paintings of
dubious authenticity are stolen, putting the museum's security -
and judgement - into question. The fate of the upcoming Japanese
Ancient Surgical Skills exhibition, and its astonishing collection
of tonsil excision implements, hangs dangerously in the balance.
And over everything hangs the grim specter of the former Director,
"Flounce" Butler-Minton, whose body may be most definitely dead but
whose legacy lives on. And with every day that passes, the rumours
of what Flounce did behind the Iron Curtain - and how the haversack
straps, the whippet and the legendary Mrs Cray were involved -
grow, threatening to erupt into a scandal that may cost the museum,
and Lepage himself, everything . . .
