Bryant & May and the Memory of Blood

The defenestration of a ruthless theatre impresario's young son was definitely not the best way to end the play's first night party. And the crime scene itself was most unusual: a locked bedroom, with no sign of forced entry, no prints or traces of blood, just a sinister, life-size puppet of Mr Punch lying on the floor.

Defenestrarea fiului mic al unui nemilos impresar de teatru nu a fost cu siguranta cea mai buna modalitate de a incheia prima petrecere de noapte a piesei. Iar locul crimei in sine era cel mai neobisnuit: un dormitor incuiat, fara niciun semn de intrare fortata, fara amprente sau urme de sange, doar o marioneta sinistra, in marime naturala, a domnului Punch, intinsa pe podea.
