DECEMBER 1, 1958.
Waring Hudsucker, president of the giant Hudsucker Industries, has just thrown himself from the 45th floor. The business world holds its breath.
But the board of directors has a cunning plan: put an idiot in his place, depress the stock price, buy up all the shares and make a million!
The Hudsucker Proxy runs from May 13 to 30 at The Nuffield Theatre, Southampton.
Tickets: £10-£25 on 023 8067 1771 or at nuffieldtheatre.co.uk.
