' Lights Out at Nine '
Another Norman and Henry Bones detective play by Anthony C. Wilson
Production by Josephine Plunwner
It is not often that a plot brewed in a thieves' kitchen is handed in all its guile and subtlety as a gift to the listener, but such is the case in this play. Can the crooks, Bill and Len, fail when all Bill has to do is to impersonate the American owner of a priceless stamp collection, and all Len has to do is to cancel the real owner's visit?
