The Butler Did It at Theatre Box

The farcical sleuth comedy parodies every English mystery play ever written, but with a decidedly American flair. Miss Maple, with a reputation for “clever” weekend parties, invites a group of detective writers to eerie Ravenswood Manor on Turkey Island where they are to impersonate their fictional characters. The hostess has arranged all sorts of amusing incidents, but when a real murder takes place, Miss Maple is outraged. She offers a reward to the “detective” who can bring the killer to justice. In the spirit of the films "Murder By Death" and "Clue", the zany assortment of would-be sleuths are based on the likes of literary characters Miss Marple, Nick & Nora Charles, Sam Spade, Charlie Chan and the like.
