Synopsis

Twist is a comedy thriller by Miles Tredinnick. The title is very apt as there are many ‘twists’ as the play unfolds! Nothing and no one is as they appear!
David is an accountant who yearns to be a writer. He is married to Sarah a soap star. She is an unpleasant, unsupportive wife to David who plots revenge!! David persuades his brother Robert to help him and engages questionable tactics to get Hannah Van Lee’s assistance!!
But will Mrs Beck or Inspector Root interfere with his plans?
Is he successful? Is the conclusion a ‘twist’ you could have imagined?
The action takes place in David Woods and Sarah Seeton’s South Kensington flat in London
