Synopsis - The Unexpected Guest

After crashing his car, Michael Starkwedder stumbles to the nearest house, where he finds Laura Warwick, with gun in hand, standing over the body of her dead husband.

Although Laura confesses to the murder, is she really guilty? Or is someone else in this lonely country house a cold-blooded killer?

A classic Christie whodunit that will leave you guessing right up to the last minute.

Cast:
Laura Warwick - the wife, 30 - 40
Michael Starkwedder - the visitor, 35 - 45
Miss Bennett - the nurse, 50ish
Jan Warwick - the young brother, 18 - 23
Mrs Warwick - the mother of the deceased, elderly
Henry Angell - the secretary / butler / confidant, 45 - 50
Sergeant Cadwallader - the local police, 20s
Inspector Thomas - the local police chief, middle aged

Ages are very much able to be compromised - the wife, neighbour and visitor should be similar ages.
Sergeant Cadwallader - can be male or female
Inspector Thomas - can be younger
Henry Angell - can be younger

The action takes place in the study of Richard Warwick, the deceased. Set in a country home in South Wales.
