Présentation de l'éditeur :

When Professor Pononner invites his friends around one evening to unwrap a newly acquired Mummy, little do they realise the horror that awaits. The horror of reanimated corpses... ...falls from high windows... ....and an overwhelming sense of British embarrassment... This new adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s classic black comedy is ideal for a performance on a cold winter’s night or to be read by the fireside with a glass of port.
