The Mysterious Murder of Mrs. Fox

» Profile

Set in a 1940's Film Noir style, Private Investigators Jake Truman (Humphrey Bogart type, Trilby & Mac) & Peggy Babcock (Women's Institute Sleuth - a domineering, school-mistress type) present the evidence of Mrs. Fox's Murder.

Stabbed with her very own Size 8 Knitting Needle, what possible motive could there be for this attack on Jake's adorable secretary? The suspects are lined up and their case files examined. Could it be, Mrs. McDermott, Brian Fancy, Flora Budd, Bernadette Manning or Doris Yeltsin? Find out why each of them has a motive!

"Raymond Chandler meets British, Carry-On style slapstick."

This show is great fun entertainment, immediately putting the audience at ease as they are compelled to discuss the clues and evidence laid out before them. Suitable for many diifferent occasions, it works best with a meal as there are purposeful breaks in the action to allow audience members to work out, 'Who Dunnit?'

What's unique about this 'murder mystery comedy' compared to similar events, is that it is led by two characters only. The 'suspects' of the piece are drawn from the audience themselves, dressed in costume and are prompted to play out the action in a "Generation Game" fashion, with hysterical results.

The format allows for an extremely flexible form of entertainment. It can be performed almost anywhere: pubs, clubs, restaurants, church halls etc. with a minimum performance area of approx. 2m x 3m. The show can last anywhere between 1 - 2.5 hours, depending on audience size and the required number of breaks.

The two main characters are played by professional actors with musical theatre & cabaret experience and will respond to any situation, while maintaining their personas throughout.
