From the writer of Rising Damp, Natural Causes was described on its release as a 'highly original comedy thriller, full of mistaken identities, hilarious consequences and some great laughs’.
Vincent is a professional suicide merchant. Contracted by Walter Bryce, he arrives at his country house and mistakenly assumes that the potion was intended for Walter's consumption. It then becomes clear that Walter's wife Celia is the client — or is she? Why are her suicide letters all typed and unsigned? After several thwarted attempts to poison various characters (resulting in multiple poisonings of a rubber plant), will anyone actually manage to drink the potion? This is comedy at its blackest and best.
