Agatha Crusty Plays

Back to the Derek Webb Biography Page


	Agatha Crusty And The Village Hall Murders by Derek Webb (4m, 6f or 3m, 7f) Agatha Crusty (pronounced 'Croosty') is a crime novelist. She's also pretty adept at solving crimes. So, when she spends a few days with her sister-in-law in the village of Chortelby, it's not long before she gets caught up in a series of murders which seem directed at members of the All Saints Village Hall committee. And with an investigating officer as incompetent as DI Twigg, the laughs pile up as fast as the bodies.

	Agatha Crusty And The Murder Mystery Dinner by Derek Webb (5m, 6f) Geoffrey and Caroline Robertson are having a dinner party to celebrate ten successful years of 'Mighty Midget' Vacuum Cleaners, and to add spice to the evening they make it a murder mystery dinner. There's a special surprise too - Geoffrey has invited the well-known crime novelist, Agatha Crusty (pronounced ‘Croosty’) to join them. But, when one of the guests is actually murdered, it’s no laughing matter... except this is an Agatha Crusty murder mystery so there are laughs a-plenty. And also a genuine mystery to tax the little grey cells.

	Agatha Crusty And The Health Spa Murders by Derek Webb (3m, 7f) Amateur detective Agatha Crusty (pronounced ‘Croosty’) decides that a spell at a health spa is just what she needs to recharge her batteries. At first things go swimmingly, but soon, when a body is found in the mud bath, Agatha finds herself yet again, due to the inept DI Aster (who is a cousin of the redoubtable DI Twigg), having to swap pleasure for business and 'assist' his enquiries by doing the job herself. There's humour throughout, but, being an Agatha Crusty murder mystery, there is also a genuine mystery with an ingenious plot to once again tax the little grey cells of the audience.

	Agatha Crusty And The Pantomime Murders by Derek Webb (4m, 7f) Agatha is in Giglinton for a Book Festival when she meets the local amateur dramatic group starting rehearsals of their production of Peter Pan. Sadly these are cut short when an actor is killed. The police believe it to be an accident as they do another death which occurs soon after. Agatha however is convinced that the deaths are murders, and believes them to be connected, something born out when a third member of the group dies; all with clues seemingly referring to a pantomime. And, being an Agatha Crusty murder mystery, the laughs pile up as fast as the bodies.

	Agatha Crusty And The Medieval Murders by Derek Webb (5m, 6f) Agatha decides to join a genealogy course, being held in one of the best-preserved medieval houses in the country called Bramwell Towers. She has scarcely been there a few hours when someone dies in suspicious circumstances. And then one by one others follow. It’s time to call in the police, but the arrival of a certain D I Twigg doesn’t fill anyone with optimism. And, yet again, it falls on Agatha to solve the case amid bodies piling up as fast as the laughs.
