The emphasis on devised theatre is evident here. What’s more, Janina’s two dogs have gone missing.Ĭomplicité and McBurney have made their name for their complex literary theatrical adaptations, taken from page to stage through a company-wide devising process. The murders all target villagers who have been cruel to animals and Janina becomes dead set on a theory. Someone or something is picking off the men of this rural haven. If at first the setting seems like a charming backdrop for pensioner comedy, that impression quickly changes when the first of multiple dead bodies shows up.
