This production was our second entry into the Kent Drama Association's 2013 Full-Length Play Festival and received the following awards:

• Best Supporting Actress - Jo Godman - Winner
• Best Use of Limited Space - Runner-up

Set in a country manor house in the glorious 1930s, this Agatha Christie spoof introduces the inept and bungling Inspector Pratt, who battles against the odds and his own incompetence to solve the murder of the house's owner. Add in a well meaning local sleuth, Miss Maple, who seems to attract murder wherever she goes, a high society debutante, a shady French art dealer and his moll, and you have the perfect setting for chaos!
It soon becomes clear that the murderer isn't finished yet; will the miscreant be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom or will the audience die laughing first?
