A cry: “SIR CECIL IS DEAD!”
And so begins the season’s most exciting and darkly-hilarious Thriller... Murder-Mystery… Farce… Ghost Story…
A Brand New MURDER-MYSTERY-FARCE-GHOST STORY!
In the year of our Lord Nineteen-Hundred & Agatha, the inhabitants and guests of Garbadale Manor have their evening rudely interrupted by the untimely death of Sir Cecil.
Join the Usual Tired Old Tropes, ahem, Electrifying Suspects: the Monstrous Patriarch, the Drunken Son; the Maid with a Secret; the Butler with a Past, the Celebrated Psychic, the Daughter of Longing; the Ostensibly Objective Rake; a Ghost-like Thing: all collide and commune in a raucous take on the stylings of Agatha Christie – with added Ghost. Or is there?
