A Simply Beastly Murder

I say! There’s been a murder!

The Famous Five grew up and grew apart. When Dick, now a hardened PI, gets in over his head, he turns to his sister Anne for help. Do they have what it takes to solve the crime? A Film Noir for the stage, full of gangsters, intrigue, and lashings of tinned pineapple. With additional voices by Alistair McGowan. Edinburgh Fringe sell-out show. Nominated for the Funny Women Awards. Supported by Barnsley Civic.
