SNAKES AND LADDERS
BY ERIC CHAPPELL
With wonderfully colorful characters and biting one-liners, SNAKES AND LADDERS is a brand-new, beautifully observed, brilliant rollercoaster comedy written by top comedy writer ERIC CHAPPELL (RISING DAMP, DUTY FREE, ONLY WHEN I LAUGH).
Sam Spencer (PAUL NICHOLAS) and his wife Fay are about to enjoy the holiday of a lifetime in a luxurious Spanish villa secretly 'borrowed' from her boss. Meanwhile, once-famous actor Howard Booth (IAN OGILVY) also 'borrows' the villa, bringing alone his sharp-witted new girlfriend and all his old films on video.
As they fight over the villa and avoid the sleeping snake out on the terrace, Howard realises that his prized bag of videos has been switched at the airport - with a bag full of cash! And when a sinister villain arrives to claim his money back, all hell breaks loose...
