It's a big day at Christophe et Cie, a small couture house off
Regent Street. Mr Bevan will announce which of his staff he is
sending to France to be general manager of a new branch in
Deauville. Will it be the talented and elegant Miss Doon or the
loyal and long-serving Miss Gregory? Perhaps senior saleswoman
Irene or showroom manager Dorian will get the job. Events take a
dramatic turn over a lunch of rabbit curry when Miss Doon collapses
and dies, poisoned by the oxalic acid crystals that another
employee, Rachel, has been using to clean her hat. Inspector
Charlesworth and Sergeant Wyler have a murder enquiry on their
hands. Behind the glamour and gossip of a 1930s fashion house,
secrets and lies are rife and more than one person may have
harboured resentment towards Miss Doon. Richard Harris's thrilling
play is based on Christianna Brand's debut crime novel. Irene Best,
early 40s, brisk and efficient. Frank Bevan, late 40s, a ladies'
man. Rose Macinerny, 19, plump and mousy. Zelda Gregory, late 30s,
tall and angular. Dorian Pouvier, late 30s, slim and fair. Rachel
Gay, 30s, extremely attractive Aileen Wheeler, early 20s, a blonde
stunner. Caroline Doon, late 30s, tall and well modelled. Inspector
David Charlesworth, 30-something, boyishly good-looking. Sergeant
Lilian Wyler, late 30s, solid and no-nonsense
General
