Lord Audley’s Secret

A ‘sensational and affecting mellow drama in three acts’. Augustus Manleigh, and his manly Life Companion, Jed, live a simple life in a simple cottage until threatened with eviction by Lord Audley, brutal husband of beauteous Lady Audley and all-round rotten egg. Augustus disappears; rumour has it he is going for a seaman. Jed falls apart and takes to drink, encouraged by the lecherous and bibulous Rev. Jonas Toadspawn. But help is at hand in the shape of a mysterious gypsy or Roma if you prefer Tara Masalata. Murder! Drowning! A burning barn! A demon barber! Authentic Victorian jokes!
