DOWN WITH DEMON DRINK by Brian J Burton

24th-25th & 31st March-1st April 2000 - Crowthorne Parish Hall

Edward, the penniless heir of his kind-hearted father, is a virtuous man. One day the villain Squire Cribbs lures Edward to drink in an inn, and the effect is instantaneous; he becomes a drunkard and his poverty increases. It is his foster brother William who finds out what Cribbs is up to, discovers Edward in the slums of London and finds the true will hidden by the villain.
