Tour Highlights

"The Ladykillers" at the Shaw Festival Theatre

Many of you may remember the movie of the same name. The original movie was a 1955 British black comedy starring Sir. Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Original Screenplay and won the BAFTA Award for Best British Screenplay. The movie was remade in 2004 starring Tom Hanks, Irma P. Hall, and Marlon Wayans.

In a nutshell, Professor G.H. Dorr, a courtly gentleman, arrives at the home of devout, elderly Marva Munson, hoping to rent her extra room and use her basement to rehearse with his classical music ensemble. His fellow musicians, however, are actually criminals, and together they plan to rob a casino. When Mrs. Munson learns of their plan, they decide she must be silenced. Certainly, murdering one little old lady cannot be that difficult! Prepare to laugh out loud during this performance, expertly put on by the Shaw Festival.
