Murder Most Gruesome

Our company-written show in spring 2025 was Murder Most Gruesome, a musical comedy murder mystery directed by our very own Penny Mullord.

About the Show

The residents, staff and guests at Downturn Abbey are assembled for the annual Spring Ball when the host, Lord Black, is discovered in his library, dead! Everyone is under suspicion; but are they all who or what they seem to be? It’s up to Inspector Brown and trusty sidekick Sergeant Grey to uncover the secrets behind the façades and identify the killer!

This musical comedy is packed full of well known theatre and pop songs, and features a cast drawn from the tradition of the 1930s golden age murder mystery, including snooty aristocrats, respectable clergy, secret lovers and disgruntled servants. Can YOU work out whodunnit?
