Inspector Drake's Last Case

We all went to see "Inspector Drake's Last Case" being performed by the Redbourn Players on Friday evening, and what a great time we all had!
"Inspector Drake's Last Case" is an Agatha Christie spoof written by David Tristram.  The main characters are Inspector Drake and his sidekick, Sergeant Plod, who investigate a murder, interviewing a number of characters with confusing names like Cook the Gardener and Butler the Guest.  Inspector Drake calls the characters by completely different, humorous names each time he speaks to them, for example referring to Gardener, the Cook as Mrs Gargoyle or Mr Guest, the Butler as Mr Gonad!  Absolutely hilarious, though as the plot was far too complicated for a little bear of no brains, I just enjoyed the humorous dialogue and great acting!
The cast were all brilliant, especially Andy Turner as Inspector Drake - he has such a great voice and commanding presence that he was just perfect in the role.  David Howell as Sergeant Plod was great too, as were all the other characters.  This was definitely a play with strong male characters, all of whom were cast really well.  But the female characters had little to do except stand around and look pretty, which was a shame as we know they can act their socks off!
This was yet another brilliant production from the Redbourn Players!

And the evening was topped off with coffee at Ruth and Clive's before we wended our weary way home in the wee small hours of the morning!
