Notes: | MURDER is modern pastiche on the classic murder mystery performed with tongue-in-check humour and spectacular feats of circus. True fusion of theatre and circus make this a highly original work. | |||||
Synopsis: | When a famous guest is found dead at Murder Manor; each of the exotic suspects is proven to have both motive and opportunity. However, no one is owning up for the audacious crime. What ensues is a heady mix of fast paced comedy, lavish circus performance and even a little light hearted sleuthing; as the eccentric host and bumbling detective play fast and loose with the unusual house guests. In true 'whodunit' style the final revelation flips the murder investigation on its head with dramatic results. | |||||
