Murdered to Death by Dolphin Theatre in Onehunga, Auckland

What To Know About This Production

by Peter Gordan

Director Simon Foley

28 Feb-15 March

This hilarious spoof in the best Agatha Christie tradition is set in a country manor house in the 1930s, with an assembled cast of characters guaranteed to delight—Bunting, the butler; an English Colonel with the prerequisite stiff upper lip; a shady French art dealer and his moll; the bumbling local inspector and a well-meaning local sleuth who seems to attract murder wherever she goes—they’re all here, and all caught up in the side-splitting antics which follow the mysterious death of the house’s owner. It soon becomes clear that the murderer isn’t finished yet, but will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will readers die laughing first?
