Death in the Chapel St. Cut's
An amiable comic whodunit with an opportunity for the audience to play along by trying to guess the who, how and why, this modest two-hander is a vehicle for two personable performers. In the guise of dim detective and dimmer assistant, they take us back to 1930 and the wedding of Agatha Christie and Max Mallowan where, they would have us believe, one of the guests was murdered. Whodunit? The dodgy archaeologist who once got lost looking for the Lost City? The society dowager with a weakness for Mae West one-liners? The malevolent media millionaire, the mousy secretary or the flapper floozie? Or perhaps the butler did it? Playing all the roles, with the most minimal of costume and voice changes, the two actors keep thing moving swiftly while carefully dropping both clues and red herrings until they stop the action to let us record our deductions before they solve the case. A slight piece, but thoroughly entertaining.

Three Weeks Issue Two
Death In The Chapel
Strange Happenings.
If you love Cluedo or murder mystery dinner     parties then you will absolutely love solving the riddle of who killed Reverend Donald MacDonald. Set in the very chapel where Agatha Christie got married, Detective Watson and Maurice Arty  introduce the scene and then portray the different protagonists that interact in this gruesome 1930s tale. This is a genuinely entertaining show and a great early morning energiser.
twrating: 3/5 [clm]
