A detective comedy by Dorothy L. Sayers and M. St. Clare Byrne.
Adapted and produced by John Glyn-Jones.
In "Busman's Honeymoon" the authors have expressed in dramatic terms a true 'detective problem', in which every clue is shown at the same time to the audience and to the detective so that both of them have an equal chance to solve the problem.
In this play viewers see what happens to Dorothy L. Sayers's famous character Lord Peter Wimsey when he arrives at a farmhouse in Essex for his honeymoon.
(Joan Hickson appears by arrangement with the Boulting Brothers)
