Synopsis:
Double Homicide At The Manchester Manchester and Haberdashery Factory Outlet is an all-original musical comedy. The show explores contemporary issues through a comedic lens: tackling the fast fashion epidemic, and the toll it is taking on small business.
Meredith Wood is running out of hope. Her manchester and haberdashery factory outlet is struggling to stay afloat; her loyal employees Finicky Felicity, Arrogant Anne, and Shameless Shanice come with problems of their own; her daughter Eliza is losing interest in her final year of school thanks to greasy new boyfriend Hunter; her oafish deliveryman Nate is in love with her; banker Mr. Ashton is after overdue mortgage repayments, and even reliable customers like Koi Pond are turning to cheaper, inferior imports.
In desperation, she turns to a long buried piece of the past, to save her future. In walks Lawrence Kelly, a PI posing as council support, to uncover the truth and seek his due revenge. Their rivalry will be unearthed, and Meredith will do whatever it takes to leave her mark on this world.
