Murder at Ackerton Manor at Theatre Orangeville

A Farcical Murder Mystery

by Steven Gallagher

One dark and stormy night, the despicable Roger Ackerton, Lord of Ackerton Manor, is murdered. Detective Pierre Pierrot is called in to solve the case—but all he has to go on is a dead body, a missing diamond, and five ridiculous suspects, each with an outlandish motive. As the clock ticks down and the suspects turn on one another, will Pierrot solve the mystery—or become the next victim? 

Murder at Ackerton Manor is a fun-loving spoof of Agatha Christie murder mysteries, with a dash of Mel Brooks-style mayhem thrown in for good measure. 

Packed with outrageous plot twists, mistaken identities, and increasingly frantic suspects, get ready for a raucous night of laughs and mystery in the English countryside. Three talented actors portray seven eccentric characters in this fast-paced, high-energy tribute to the Queen of Mystery.
