Press
The second festive edition of the bawdy panto is almost a whodunnit, even if Agatha Christie would probably disapprove of the eye-watering innuendo. Peggy Piper the Pernod Poisoner is out of jail and gunning for the eyewitness who put her there: Winnie. The question is: can Mrs Brown unravel the case?
