A mystery is waiting to be solved in

St Ives

It was an interesting choice by all accounts when theatre producer Putona Show cast actor Leo Hamm as the lead in her new play, The Cromwell Diaries. Several notable actors auditioned, but for reasons she continues to keep to herself, Putona picked novice actor Leo, despite his only previous acting experience being as the back end of a pantomime horse. The theatre company was up in arms, accusing Putona of turning Cromwell into a pantomime dame. So perhaps it was no surprise when Leo was found under the trap door having uttered his last line. But WHO would go so far as to crush poor Leo's dreams? And which prop did they use to finish him off?
