Plunder in the Snow

'Plunder in the Snow'
an original comedy by Julian Jacobs

Premiered in association with CHIPS Productions at Cleave Warne Hall, Borstal on 15 & 16 April 2005,
and at CHIPS venue, Aylesford Community Centre on 13 & 14 May 2005.

This full-length original comedy play was written by Julian Jacobs from CHIPs and performed by a mixed cast of both theatre companies.

Plunder in the Snow sees Bernard and Charlie, a couple of lovable rogues, deciding to hide out in the deserted mansion of Dame Belchier Bottomly. What better way to avoid the Police than in luxury? After all the old dear has long since departed, and until the French long lost cousin twice removed - Lavinia Dupont - can be found, the mansion could be a great hidey-hole for the foreseeable future.

As with most great comedy capers the naive French Cousin materialises under the ever-watchful eye of the unscrupulous Vincent from Scammals Solicitors. In order to hide their identities Charlie & Bernard Masquerade as the Dame and her faithful butler.

Throw in a tiger, a nude under a duvet and a hidden safe, and what ensues is a tangled web of slapstick comedy and mistaken identities in a superb modern day version equivalent of Charley's Aunt...
