Actors Company: Another Bloody Murder
Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DPGhosts walking the corridors and crows who think they are ravens – join the Royal & Derngate Actors Company as they solve Another Bloody Murder. Written and directed by Scott Bradley (The Caucasian Chalk Circle), this brand new whodunnit draws on the best capers of country house detective stories, with a twist. Inept Inspector Cluedo, his endlessly patient and long-suffering sergeant, Officer Joan, and a colourful and rather odd collection of residents and guests navigate their way through mayhem, mishaps and murder. So – Whodunnit? The Bluff Colonel? The Heiress? The Butler? Will Inspector Cluedo ever solve the case of the disappearing Duchess? Is he even in the right house? Drawing on the silliest of comedy traditions, the Actors Company blend the nation’s favourite mystery traditions with downright farce. This show contains adult themes, including some comedy violence and sexual references.
