Agatha Christie wrote 66 mystery novels, but somewhat inconveniently died before she could write this one. So the Court Jesters will just have to make it up!

Step into Otahuna in the 1930s, where somebody has been found dead…VERY dead in fact. Though accusations abound, all clues seem to point to one suspect. Or, do they?!

This is not your typical whodunnit. Instead, it is an improvised comedy mystery where the story unfolds on the spot, with the audience shaping key choices along the way. Bring your sense of curiosity, justice, good humour and dive into a tongue-in-cheek tale of intrigue and unexpected twists.
