Tom and Annabel are a reasonably happy couple. But one evening they have an argument as to who loves the other most. A rough and tumble ensues, and to his horror, Tom discovers that Annabel is dead. So starts a hectic evening of black farce. The hysterical ending finds the stage littered with female corpses, frantic males and a potential fifth victim banging on the door
RING ROUND THE MOON

A poetic mixture of farce, romance and comedy. Twin brothers—shy, sensitive Frederic and heartless, aggressive Hugo—are embroiled in a love triangle. To save Frederic from an unhappy marriage, Hugo tries to distract him with a beautiful dancer who isn’t all she seems. Not only does she break up the cynical romances that have been going on before she arrived, but she loses her own heart as well.
