Seven characters. Three actors. One killer comedy.
The motives are absurd. The murders are frequent. The laughs are nonstop.
On a dark and stormy night at Ackerton Manor, the loathed Roger Ackerton meets a deadly end. Enter Detective Pierre Pierrot, armed with only a corpse, a missing diamond, and five eccentric suspects — each with a motive more absurd than the last. In this whirlwind tribute to Agatha Christie, three actors bring seven outrageous characters to life. Twists, turns, and mistaken identities keep the laughs, and bodies, coming.
The Groff Studio Series is performed in our 4th Floor Tell Studio Theatre and is designed for General Admission Seating
