Crime Doesn't Pay

The one act play, Crime Doesn't Pay, is based on a short story by Thomas Hardy and is a gentle comedy with a strong moral. Whilst doing his father a favour, kindly Hubert finds himself accused of burglary. But he manages to reveal the real culprits through some smart thinking - and a clever trick with a pepper pot! Set at Christmas, the play script also provides young actors with the opportunity to perform appropriate seasonal songs.
