OCT 1 – 25 By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields Festival Stage | Recommended for Ages 8+ A hilarious, fast-paced farce that’s part Agatha Christie and part Monty Python It’s opening night of the mystery, The Murder at Haversham Manor, and everything is going wrong. The leading lady can’t stay awake, the corpse can’t stay dead, and the set is barely staying upright. The show must go on, but will the actors and crew survive? This uproarious, smash-hit comedy that Entertainment Weekly calls “nonstop pandemonium” is sure to bring the house down (literally)!
