THERE'S a strict landlady, a parrot called General Gordon and five desperate criminals.

The Barnstormers Autumn production, The Ladykillers, is a clever adaptation of the classic Ealing Comedy film. Posing as amateur musicians, Professor Marcus and his gang rent rooms from Mrs Wilberforce who becomes wise to their ruse.

With only General Gordon, to help her, Mrs Wilberforce is alone with five desperate men. But who will be forced to face the music?
