Synopsis: On a dark and stormy night at Ackerton Manor, the loathed Roger Ackerton meets a deadly end. Enter Detective Pierre Pierrot, armed with only a corpse, a missing diamond, and five eccentric suspects — each with a motive more absurd than the last. In this whirlwind comedic tribute to Agatha Christie, three actors bring seven outrageous characters to life. Twists, turns, and mistaken identities keep the laughs, and bodies, coming.
