The Ladykillers tells the story of the eccentric little old lady Mrs Wilberforce who lives alone with her parrots in a strange lopsided house in King’s Cross.

Planning the heist of a security van, they decide to use Mrs Wilberforce as cover and involve her unwittingly in the plot.

Things do not go well and the Professor’s plan starts to unravel in spectacular and hilarious fashion.
