Murder at Crooked House (Musical)




Age Level: Middle Grades to High School
Cast: 9F, 6M, 3 F or M
Time: 90 minutes, 2 acts

Spooky, suspenseful, but mostly funny. This kinky spoof of TV’s "Private Eye" shows of the fifties features Hercules Porridge, the famous Hoboken detective. Whodunit? Was it Jeebes, the butler? Anguish Crispie, the mystery writer? Rebecca Fitzwilliam, the landlady of Crooked House? Ore one of the other oddball house-guests? Lots of zany action as the eccentric Colonel Chutney keeps attacking the house with his "Victorian Regiment."
