Murdered to Death by Dolphin Theatre in Onehunga, Auckland

What To Know About This Production

This hilarious whodunit combines classic murder mystery tropes with side-splitting comedy.


Set in a 1930s English country manor, the play introduces a cast of delightfully eccentric characters, including a bumbling inspector, a snooty aristocrat, a mysterious femme fatale, and a butler who’s perhaps too proper. When a murder is discovered, everyone becomes a suspect in a case brimming with twists, turns, and hilariously disastrous detective work.

Will the killer be caught—or will Inspector Pratt bungle the investigation beyond repair?


Prepare for a night of laughter, intrigue, and surprises in this clever spoof of the Agatha Christie genre.
