A splendid twist on an ethereal theme, An Ill-Timed Hideaway throws convention to the wind. Death, tired of eternal work, switches places with a mortal and looks forward to a weekend of peace and quiet - or so he has been led to believe... A two act play set in one room of a large country house, this is an excellent play for both amateur troupes and professional stages alike. "A true masterclass in the farce of English manners" G.
