Performance dates 22nd - 27th June 2009 Murdered to Death by Peter Gordon, directed by Julia Armstrong Peter Gordon brilliantly sends up Agatha Christie, in this excellent comedy thriller. When the lady of the house, Mildred Bagshot, is murdered, it's down to Inspector Pratt to determine whodunnit. Hindered by a complete lack of competence, he struggles to work his way through a cast of suspicious characters. Is the loyal housekeeper, Dorothy to be trusted? Was it the colonel or his wife? What about the swarthy French art dealer? Or maybe the butler did it? At the end of the day, perhaps the inspector would be better off relying on the assistance of Joan Maple to help him find the killer.
