Details

Mrs Laura Partridge is an elderly lady. She holds a few shares in the General Products Corporation of America. Recently retired from the stage, she decides to use some of her new-found leisure to attend a shareholders' AGM. At first, the newly promoted senior management of the GPCA barely registers her presence. But not for long. When it comes to confirming their massive salary increases by proxy vote, they find she has some rather awkward questions to ask. Act Productions have announced that "due to exhaustion Mr Roy Hudd has made the decision, on medical advice, to step down from the role of Edward McKeever". Understudy, Derek Howard, will play the part until the producers have recast the role.
