Description
August 1815. The Duke of Buckingham is dead – but the feelings on this are decidedly mixed. At the Buckingham estate, his widow Selina discovers she must remarry within seven days or lose everything. So, when the perfect candidate appears, she thinks the problem is solved. Only something much darker is happening. And as an unlikely affection emerges, nastier truths come to light. With her bankrupt family depending on her and a power-hungry social climber gunning for her title, Selina's running out of time.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

We had a fully booked day at the Fringe, and we couldn't have asked for a better start to the day.
A great story that moved along at pace, commentary on class, sleuthing, laugh out loud moments and a believable love story... what more could you want? Everyone in the case was brilliant, playing their part (or parts!) switching between sincerity and full on ham like it was nothing. Really great fun.
I'll be keeping an eye out for more plays by Ruckus!

Every joke was performed perfectly, every character was memorable, and the cast clearly had terrific fun making it - shame it wasn't a bit louder, or they would've had better laughs

Amazingly funny show. Can’t recommend it highly enough. If you love Agatha Christie and Bridgerton you’ll love this. Best hour I have spent.
