MURDER, OF COARSE!

A fast-paced Agatha Christie knockoff full of silly accents & extravagant hats.

Ready for a raucous evening of silliness and extravagant* hats? You need Murder, of Coarse!

Join our intrepid actors as they bale against the most ambious and under-achieving Agatha Christie rip-off since Kenneth Brannagh’s Poirot. Can you keep up as six experienced and ambious actors switch and swap between 15
characters and thirty accents to solve the crime of the century?

Writer Nick Thomas trained at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Murder of Course is his debut play. He has a track record in writing gags and creating hilarious moments, having previously written sketch shows and worked with the team behind The Show that Goes Wrong.

Barstood Theatre Company previously performed a work-in-progress preview of the show at London’s Questors Theatre in January 2024. It was met with rapturous applause with audiences likening Murder of Course to the Edinburgh Award winning Police Cops and (something else here).

Look smart and book now for this limited London run.

*Well there are certainly hats anyway…
