Thankfully, it isn’t very often that summer holidays are interrupted by the threat of dismemberment.

But that’s just one of the predicaments faced by the characters in this frantic comedy.

The plot revolves around a double booked villa in sunny Spain.  Sam and Fay Spencer battle failed actor Howard Booth and his girlfriend Dodie for possession not only of the villa but also the half a million pounds in they find in a suitcase which they picked up by mistake at the airport.

The owner of the suitcase, and the police officer chasing him, follow on in hot pursuit. 

Confusion reigns, and there are moments of sheer farce as well as tension and mystery in this comedy by the author of one of TV’s most revered sitcoms, Rising Damp.

Sadly, no photographs of this production of Heatstroke are available.
