Eric in Downtown Abbey

Sat 22 Aug–Sat 5 Sep

David Graham Productions present

Eric’s lost his job again and can’t get any work for love nor money.  Bev comes to the rescue by finding them work as a valet and cook at Downtown Abbey, a run-down stately home in deepest Staffordshire.  The place is run by Lord Trentham as if it’s still 1910 and the below-stairs staff are a motley crew led by Sarson, the Butler, two rather strange footmen, a couple of ladies’ maids and Branston the Chaffeur, who’s in a bit of a pickle.

However, when things start to go missing from the house the new arrivals soon find themselves in trouble.  Is Eric guilty of the thefts?  Has Bev been able to persuade them she really is a good cook with her veal and chocolate pie?  Will there be a load of 60s hits played through the evening?  The answers to these questions are ‘maybe’, ‘no’ and ‘yes’ – but not necessarily in that order!
