Can innocent children's author Rufus Hambleden unravel the mystery behind the Tower Bridge construction site? Can he save us from the evil machinations of the sinister entrepreneur Lucius Frost....?
Aeneas Faversham Forever introduces us to The Ostrea Holdings company, led by the dashingly attractive but ominous Lucius Frost, with untoward interest in the construction of Tower Bridge. Lucius drags our hero Rufus deep within the inescapable underworld of Victorian London, ensnaring him in a whirlwind of murder, intrigue and the occult revealing a terrible secret that could threaten the Empire...
The new hour-long play, is the first production of its kind for Victorian sketch group The Penny Dreadfuls, usually known for filling venues across the UK with their short and wonderfully acted comic sketches set in Dickensian times.
This show has already won 'Best Comedy Show' at the Brighton Festival Awards in May and was the biggest-selling and best-reviewed sketch show at the Edinburgh Festival in August.
The play is funny from start to finish and each of the trio whips through a whole host of characters with impressive acting skills. Humphrey Ker is born to play the stereotypical creepy villain, David Reed is perfect as wet toff David Hambleden and if it wasn't for his prominent facial hair, Thom Tuck could almost be a woman he plays the part of Hambleden's demure young wife so well.
