Murdered to Death

by Peter Gordon

13 -16 November 2024


This hilarious spoof of the best of the Agatha Christie traditions is set in a country manor house in the glorious 1930s, with an assembled cast of characters guaranteed to delight - Bunting the Butler; an English colonel with a stiff upper lip; a shady French art dealer and his moll; the bumbling inspector and the well-meaning local sleuth who seems to attract murder wherever she goes - they're all here, and all caught up in the mysterious death of the house’s owner. It soon becomes clear that the murderer is not finished yet, but will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom or will the audience die laughing first?
