Lancaster Community Players Presents
Murdered to Death
by Peter Gordon
March 24, 25 & 26, 2023
Directed by Ann Savides Dolan
A hilarious spoof in the tradition of Agatha Christie, with an assembled cast of characters guaranteed to delight: Bunting the butler, an English colonel with the prerequisite stiff upper lip, a shady French art dealer and his moll, bumbling local inspectors, and a well meaning local sleuth who seems to attract murder — they’re all here, and all caught up in the side-splitting antics which follow the mysterious death of the owner of a country manor house. But will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will audiences die laughing first?
