Murdered To Death
24 September 7:30 PM
Starring Norman Pace (Hale & Pace); the legendary Victor Spinetti; Sandra Dickinson (The Hitchikers’ Guide to the Galaxy), Michelle Hardwick (Lizzie Kennoway in The Royal) and Chloe Newsome (Coronation Street).
Murdered to Death is a hilarious spoof in the best Agatha Christie tradition.
Set in a country manor house in the glorious 1930s, the colourful cast of characters guaranteed to delight include – Bunting the Butler; Charles Craddock with the prerequisite stiff upper lip; the bumbling local inspector and his Constable and a well-meaning local sleuth Miss Maple who seems to attract murder wherever she goes. Add to this a high society debutante, a shady French art dealer and his moll, and supporting cast, and you have the perfect recipe for uproarious fun and hysterical happenings. But following the mysterious death of the house’s owner, will the murderer be unmasked before every one else has met their doom, or will the audience die laughing first?
This whodunnitt twists and turns with side-splitting antics and ever-increasing merriment and confusion. Read more about this event … or
