It’s 1908, and there’s been a murder! Wyndergate Manor’s mystery novel-obsessed maid takes it upon herself to deduce who did the deadly deed after she decides that renowned detective Charles de Chevigné is a fraud.
Content Notes
This is a murder mystery, so there is talk of violent themes and death. Minor knife fight with prop knives (small amount of stage blood possible). We also selected ABRUPT LOUD NOISE as we’ll have some sudden sound effects coming from offstage e.g. a scream.
A transcript and audio pre-show note are available for this show.

Such a fun show! A well written murder mystery with witty jokes to break up tension/ intrigue. Definitely recommend watching it!!
Very funny, sassy, and engaging, some great acting. Love a murder mystery!
From set design to lighting, costumes to sound, acting to writing, I loved absolutely everything about this play. It gave me “The Real Inspector Hounds” energy in all the best ways. Particular shout-out to the directing, which paid special attention to the blocking of the actors and made an almost physical comedy of some of the show, and to the incredible work on the part of both actors throughout.
Paris Healey is a superstar
I’m so glad I got to see this show. Well-written, tight, witty, with memorable performances – a well deserving Best of Fest winner.
