Synopsis
Alan returns to us to direct a musical comedy for our second season. Set in London in 1907, the action centres on Monty Navarro, a penniless clerk who is informed after the death of his mother that he is ninth in line to inherit the earldom of Highhurst controlled by the wealthy D’Ysquith banking family. After the imperious ruling Lord dismisses Monty’s claim of being a relative, the eight D’Ysquiths ahead of young Mr Navarro begin dying in natural and unnatural ways. Meanwhile Monty is trying to woo money-minded Sibella Hallward – until he finds himself drawn to young Phoebe D’Ysquith. How will these convoluted storylines come together? You’ll have to book a seat!
