Robb JohnsonA festive whodunnit
Christmas morning. A dead man in a locked bedroom in a house full of secrets.
Everybody has a motive.
But who’s got the key?
Murder At The Grange is a Christmas murder mystery in spoken word & song, created by acclaimed songwriter Robb Johnson & performed by Robb & The Xmas Irregulars.
“A cracker of a show… a delightful extravaganza and a uniquely dark and different way to celebrate the winter season” Folk RadioThe Colonel’s found dead in his locked bedroom. Nobody liked him, apart from a mysterious blonde called Sylvie, whose photo is discovered on the Colonel’s bedside table. & the Colonel has already hired proto-feminist private detective Jenny Martin to investigate his death…
Presented in the style of a BBC radio drama, there's a narrator, cast members reading as various characters in the narrative, appropriately absurd sound effects - & added original festive songs that comment on the action & reference traditional seasonal conventions (Father Christmas, mistletoe, sprouts etc).
The show consists of two halves, just under an hour each half, there is a fairly equal balance between suspense & comedy. It contains adult themes in places & there is some language, so not really suitable for under 16s…
