Murdered to Death by Peter Gordon
Genesian Theatre presents
Murdered to Death by Peter Gordon

21 Jan 2022 to 5 Mar 2022

The play introduces the inept and bungling Inspector Pratt, who battles against the odds and his own incompetence to solve the murder of the house's owner. Bunting the butler, an English Colonel with the prerequisite stiff upper lip, a shady French art dealer and his moll, bumbling local inspectors and a well-meaning, local sleuth who seems to attract murder - they're all here, and all caught up in the side-splitting antics which follow the mysterious death of the owner of a country manor house. It soon becomes clear that the murderer isn't finished yet; but will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will audiences die laughing first?

Elizabeth has directed  "Murdered to Death" currently showing at the GenesianTheatre - playing until 5 March 2022 - ishe hasn't stopped laughing since!
