When a member of The Spriggan Theatre cast dies on stage during a performance in Seal Bay, the local police put it down to natural causes.
Morwenna doesn’t. She’s suspicious from the very beginning.
But which of the actors is most likely to be the murderer? Look at the list below…examine what they say, or what is said about them. What do you think?
***
Daniel Kitto is in his eighties. He owns the company. He drives a flashy yellow sports car and is paying a lot of attention to Morwenna’s mother, Lamorna.
‘My career has been illustrious and fulfilling, but even the best of actors must one day hang up his codpiece.’
Mackenzie Fuller is a strong woman, a strong swimmer, she has strong opinions. And she has a taste for older rugged men.
‘It’s not acting when I tell him he’s the most loathsome man who ever lived and I wish him dead.’
Inga Ström is ambitious, cool and single-minded. Ben is in love with her but she has no eyes for him.
‘Women have to use opportunities, not rail against them.’
Musa Omari is a talented young man who wants more than anything to be a successful actor. He has worked hard to be where he is.
‘I’d fight to stay in the company. Acting is everything to me now -’
Rupert Bradley is often bad-tempered and he has a drinking habit. But is he a murderer?
‘Drinking, betting, living it up – Rupert likes the high life and on an actor’s wage, he just accumulated debt.’
Ben D’Arcy is keen on fitness and martial arts. He plays the heroic Arthur.
‘I’m super fit. I have used the same tonic for years, and it works for me. You can’t get it on the high street….’
Jesse Miles is a local Cornishman who is the company’s technician. He seems good-natured and outgoing. But is he really as amiable as he appears?
‘And when a man dies, his debts probably die with him…’
So, which of the company do you think is the killer?
Or could it just be someone else?
