Two dead dentists covered in lipstick - quite a week for the bumbling Detective Edwards. He gathers together a crack team of police minds to help him solve a case that seems to strike at the very heart of Middle England. But as more and more bodies show up in ever more bizarre circumstances, it's not too long before the crack team begins to, well...crack. Paul Lucas' new black comedy is one of the most genuinely touching and heart warming plays ever written about murderous mayhem. It opened at the Birmingham Rep in April 2008.
Paul's first play Swamp City was produced by the Birmingham Rep in 1996. The Birmingham Rep also commissioned adn mounted All That Trouble That We Had (May 1999) and The Slight Witch (2000), both directed by Anthony Clark at The Door. His most recent play, The Dice House, was mounted at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, in 2001. He has also written The Iguanodon, a three part series for Radio 4 (broadcast in 1997). He was born in Coventry and curently lives in Cardiff.
