Cream Tea And Incest Tickets

“Remember what it says in the bible: aim for the stomach and he’ll bleed heavily but won’t die straight away.”

Romance! Adventure! Murder! Aristocrat Eddie Spangler (Benjamin Alborough) and valet Jeffrey (Eoin McAndrew) must learn the meaning of these words and more in new knockabout Edwardian comedy, Cream Tea And Incest. Delight in their capers, mix-ups, and the dead bodies left in their wake.

We follow Eddie Spangler, an incompetent but optimistic Englishman and his loyal valet, Jeffrey, as a simple matchmaking quest quickly deteriorates into a race against time when the Machiavellian forces of the aristocracy move to wreak their vengeance. Lord Wiggins is set to inherit Rhodesia upon his marriage to Emily Rhodes, but their romance is faltering. It is up to Eddie and Jeffrey to sort Wiggins out as quickly and violently as possible. Meanwhile – the evil Lord Biggins lurks in

the shadows, waiting to execute dark schemes of his own…
