This is an hilarious spoof of the best Agatha Christie traditions, with an assembled cast of characters guaranteed to delight: 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. But will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will audiences die laughing first?
The characters and approximate playing are listed below:
MILDRED, late fifties, moderately wealthy owner of an old country manor house
DOROTHY, late twenties, companion and housekeeper to MILDRED
BUNTING, the butler, in his sixties
COLONEL CHARLES CRADDOCK, retired, in his sixties
MARGARET CRADDOCK, his wife; somewhat younger than the colonel - in her forties or fifties
PIERRE MARCEAU, a French art dealer, in his thirties
ELIZABETH HARTLEY-TRUMPINGTON, very high society, mid twenties.
JOAN MAPLE, an elderly spinster and amateur detective
INSPECTOR PRATT, inept, posing and ‘clumsy walking disaster area’ - in his forties
CONSTABLE THOMPKINS, younger village policeman, thirties
