Synopsis

Comedy Play Script: 'Agatha Crusty And The Medieval Murders' by Derek Webb

Agatha decides to join a genealogy course – finding out more about her family tree is something that has always fascinated her. The course is being held in one of the best-preserved medieval houses in the country called Bramwell Towers, built on the site of a Franciscan Priory that has long since gone.

Sadly, wherever Agatha goes, murderous deeds seem soon to follow. She has scarcely been there a few hours when one of the people running the course dies in suspicious circumstances. And then one by one others follow.

It’s certainly time to call in the police and get a thorough investigation underway. But the arrival of a certain Detective Inspector Twigg doesn’t exactly fill the occupants of Bramwell Towers with optimism and, yet again, it falls on Miss Crusty to solve the case amid bodies piling up as fast as the laughs.

This play is the fifth in a series of Agatha Crusty titles. See also:
