An Improvised Comedy MysteryAgatha Christie wrote 66 mystery novels, but somewhat inconveniently, died before she could write this one. So, the Court Jesters will just have to make it up!
At an English manor house in the 1930s. Somebody is DEAD! And an alluring but potentially deadly cast of individuals assemble. As the action unfolds, and accusations abound, all clues lead to one suspect. Or do they?
Death at Murder Manor is not your typical whodunit. It is an improvised comedy where the story unfolds on the spot, with the audience shaping key choices along the way. Bring your sense of curiosity, justice, and humour, and dive into a tongue-in-cheek tale of intrigue and deliciously unexpected twists.
The killer is amongst us, but even we don’t know who it is…yet!
“The characters are all well formed and beautifully executed. The Court Jesters are a team of confident and able improvisers – not a weak link in sight…Death at Murder Manor is slick. The players create and maintain the arsenic-and-antimacassar world of Agatha Christie with pleasure and skill.” – Theatreview (review of previous season)
“From Murder on the Orient Express to Knives Out, Death at Murder Manor is for anyone who loves a good mystery. There will be outlandish characters, shocking twists, and of course a final dramatic revelation of the murderer.” – Brendon Bennetts, Director
