THE OLD LADIES
BY RODNEY ACKLAND
adapted from the novel by Hugh Walpole
A harsh winter in the 1920s. Lucy and May have rooms in an old house and, through fond memories, simple pleasures and buried hopes, happily help each other through their impoverished days. But, in the upstairs room, the dark, brooding presence of Agatha plots to shatter their friendship. Little by little, she begins a journey of terror as she manipulates, ridicules and undermines the careful fabric of Lucy's and May's lives. Is Lucy's son really alive? Why does May depend so much on her prized possessions? And what is the terrible secret that Agatha craves to discover?
Written by acclaimed author Rodney Ackland (Absolute Hell), THE OLD LADIES is a gripping psychological thriller full of twists and turns, uniting the talents of three great actresses to keep you literally at the edge of your seat up to the explosive and unexpected climax.
Starring: Sian Phillips, Angela Thorne, Rosemary Leach
