Murder at Ackerton Manor by Steven Gallagher
A whodunnit with a wicked sense of humour.
One stormy night. One dead body. One missing diamond. Five ridiculous suspects.
Detective Pierre Pierrot has a murder to solve—before he becomes the next victim. A riotous spoof of the grand country-house whodunnit, Murder at Ackerton Manor is a fast-paced comic mystery where three actors play seven characters and nothing is quite what it seems. Full of quick changes, theatrical sleight of hand, and escalating absurdity, it leans as hard into laughter as suspense.
Director: Andrea Boyd
Featuring: Karen Bassett, James MacLean, Theofani Pitsiavas
AGE RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommended for ages 14+. A fast-paced comic mystery featuring murder, mayhem, innuendo, and some adult humour.
