Ladykillers

A classic of dark comedy
by Elke Körver and Maria Caleita, based on William Rose

Many have tried to pull off the perfect crime - and failed. But the shady "Streichquartett" is convinced they have the ultimate heist all figured out. Under a harmless pretence, they take lodgings with the charming Mrs. Wilberforce - a seemingly quiet house full of tea, music, and a fine view of the railway station.

The longer they stay, the louder their carefully oiled plan begins to creak. Small coincidences, oversized egos and an unpredictable fate push the scheme in a chaotic direction none of them saw coming.

And Mrs. Wilberforce? Perhaps there is more behind that smile than anyone suspects...
