Bloody Murder

Overview

It began as a classic British murder-mystery but, after yet another poisoning, Lady Somerset has had enough! Now the characters are rebelling against their author and it's bloody murder...

At a sumptuous English country house, miles from anywhere, the standard group of mysterious-types gather for a weekend retreat. The pompous major; the imperious lady of the manor; the freeloading young nephew; the drunken, fading actor; the innocent ingénue; the exotic lady-in-red — all have deadly secrets to spill. When one of them is inevitably poisoned the lady of the manor declares herself sick of these shenanigans and, confronted with impending murders and unexpected arrivals, incites a revolt against the author. This is murder most meta in a diabolical comedy full of twists, turns, and tangled tropes. But who will have the last laugh?
