A Simply Beastly Murder - Brighton Fringe
A Simply Beastly Murder
I say! There’s been a murder! The Famous Five grew up and grew apart. When Dick, now a hardened PI, gets in over his head, he turns to his sister Anne for help. But this isn’t Kirrin Island anymore. Do they have what it takes to solve the crime? A British Film Noir, full of gangsters, intrigue, and lashings of tinned pineapple.

Nominated for the Funny Women Awards. Supported by Fenton Arts Trust and Barnsley Civic.

With additional voices by Alistair McGowan.

Rachel E. Thorn writes for BBC Radio (Dead Ringers, The Now Show). She’s been nominated for the Kenneth Branagh Award, the Female Pilot Club, the Key Mellor Fellowship and the BBC’s Alfred Bradley Award.
