An uproarious spoof of the Agatha Christie tradition, this fast-paced whodunit is set in a country manor house in the stylish 1930’s. The colourful cast of characters guaranteed to delight include: Bunting the Butler, Colonel Charles Craddock, with the perennial stiff upper lip and long-suffering wife, the bumbling local Inspector and his Constable and a well-meaning sleuth, Miss Maple, who seems to attract murder wherever she goes. Add to this a high-society debutante, a shady French artist and the lady of the house and her daughter, and you have the perfect recipe for hysterical happenings. But following the mysterious death of the Mistress, will the murderer be un-masked before every one else has met their doom, or will the audience die laughing first?
