Murdered to Death by Peter Gordon
Audition Date: Monday 24 August 2026 - 7.30pm
Venue: Seaford Little Theatre, 4 Steyne Road, Seaford, BN25 1HA
Production dates: 4 - 12 December 2026
Director: Kim Sanger White
Peter Gordon’s comedy written in 1993 is a spoof on the classic whodunnit genre. A murder mystery in Agatha Christie style set in a 1930’s English country manor where an eclectic group of suspects plus an amateur sleuth are gathered. They are joined by a bungling Inspector and his suffering Sergeant who weave their way through a series of clues where anyone or anything could be the culprit!
Witty dialogue and slapstick humour, with the usual red herrings, blend to make this a fast paced and fun production. Will the murderer be unmasked before everyone meets their doom or will the audience die laughing first!?
Cast: five men and five women, although I will potentially be looking to cast a female for Constable Thomkins. Ages given are only a guide.
