There’s been a murder at the manor! Whodunnit? Was it the suspicious butler? The flirtatious French maid? Or perhaps... Truffles the guinea pig?!
After four sell-out performances at the 2025 Brighton Fringe, Brighton-based theatre company Murders Anonymous present this original slapstick farcical comedy play-written, produced, and directed by two University of Kent alumni.
Follow Detective Fred Herring and the eccentric Day family as their perfectly pleasant evening spirals into chaos when someone is (GASP!) MURDERED!
Described as “Fawlty Towers meets Agatha Christie meets the game Cluedo” (Brighton on the Inside) and “a hilarious, fast-paced comedy that will have you howling with laughter!” ★★★★★ (Reviewing Brighton) - this is a murder mystery seriously off the rails!
It would be a crime to miss it!
