The story takes place on the opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s production of The Murder at Haversham Manor – a 1920s large cast murder mystery play, similar to The Mousetrap. Unfortunately for the cast, but to the delight of audiences, the Cornley Drama Society is renowned for overestimating their abilities and for enduring mishaps during their productions, and we soon find out this performance is no different.
Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields of Mischief Theatre Company, it was first produced in London, England in 2012. It’s currently enjoying long-running, successful productions both in London and on Broadway in New York City, and it is regularly produced by theatre companies all around the world.
The show is produced by James Barclay, Tracy Labrosse, and Heather Evens of Black Box Theatre. Follow on Instagram for more information about this Granville Island production.
