The House on the Cliff
Staines Players present The House on the Cliff, by George Batson
Where: Stanwell Village Hall, High Street, Stanwell
Staines, Middlesex TW19 7JR
The eponymous house is a rambling old structure of ancient vintage overlooking the English Channel.
Years ago a yacht heading for the South of France sank in a storm and everyone on board perished.
Sometimes at night, they say, you can hear them screaming for help, crying out against the storm.
The house’s occupants include Ellen Clayton, a lovely young heiress who is confined to a wheelchair, Karen Lloyd, her coolly beautiful stepmother and Jenny, the austere housekeeper.
Ellen is looked after by Dr Lane who leaves suddenly to attend a conference overseas.
Nurse Pepper arrives, a cheerful, curious person intent on putting things in order.
And there’s the substitute doctor, Corey Philips, who believes Ellen can walk again and soon.
It all begins with a sudden, violent murder and ends with a chilling, surprising climax
