🩸 FINAL CAST REVEAL 🩸

🔎 The case is nearly closed…

Just 3 days until opening night of Murdered to Death!

The suspects have been introduced.
The clues have been gathered.
The investigation is underway.

Now there’s only one man for the job… or is there?

🎭 Geoff Bird as Inspector Pratt
🩸 “In charge… allegedly”

Called in to solve the mysterious events at Bagshot House, Inspector Pratt arrives determined to crack the case and catch the culprit.

The only problem?

Inspector Pratt isn’t exactly known for his flawless detective work… 🙄

Will he uncover the truth before it’s too late, or will the suspects stay one step ahead?

A huge thank you to everyone for the incredible support and enthusiasm for the production. We can’t wait to welcome audiences to Bagshot House this week and finally reveal whodunnit!

17/06/2026

🩸 SUSPECT #9 🩸

The police have finally arrived at Bagshot House! 🚔

With tensions rising and suspects everywhere, it’s time to meet the first official representative of the law…

🎭 Jennie Lewis as Constable Thomkins
🩸 “Here to help. Hopefully.”

Constable Thomkins is ready to assist with the investigation and bring some order to the chaos. But with a house full of eccentric suspects and a baffling murder to solve, that’s easier said than done!

Will Thomkins help crack the case, or will the mystery prove too much to handle?

With opening night almost here, there’s now only one person left to meet…

👀 Inspector Pratt is coming.

15/06/2026

🩸 SUSPECT #8 🩸

Just when it seems the mystery couldn’t get any more complicated, someone decides to take matters into their own hands… 🔎

Meet Joan Maple.

While the police may not have arrived yet, that isn’t going to stop Joan from investigating. Armed with determination, curiosity and perhaps a little too much confidence, she’s convinced she’s the one to crack the case.

🎭 Pat Short as Joan Maple
🩸 “Self-appointed detective”

Joan is determined to uncover the truth, but will her theories solve the mystery… or simply add to the confusion? 🙃

With the investigation heating up and opening night fast approaching, the suspects are running out of places to hide.

Is she a brilliant detective or enthusiastic amateur?

14/06/2026

🩸 SUSPECT #7 🩸

The case is getting stranger by the minute… 🔎

Returning to the Bagshot House household, our next suspect is Dorothy, Mildred Bagshot’s niece.

Quiet and unassuming, Dorothy is often content to stay out of the spotlight. But in a house where everyone has something to hide, sometimes it’s the quiet ones who attract the most attention…

🎭 Sarah Morgan as Dorothy
🩸 “Quiet… too quiet?”

While others argue, accuse and draw attention to themselves, Dorothy watches from the sidelines. But what has she seen? And what does she know? 👀

As we get closer to opening night, the suspect list is nearly complete. The question remains…

Can you spot the murderer before the detectives do?

What's it to be: Shy bystander or silent schemer? 😬

12/06/2026

🩸 SUSPECT #6 🩸

The mystery at Bagshot House is becoming increasingly complicated… 🔎

Our next suspect is Pierre Marceau, a visitor whose arrival raises more than a few eyebrows.

In a house full of secrets, everyone is looking for clues. And when someone seems a little mysterious, it’s only natural that suspicion follows…

🎭 Richard Comish as Pierre Marceau
🩸 “Foreign… and suspicious?”

Pierre may be charming, cultured and perfectly innocent… but can the other guests be convinced?

Or is there more to this enigmatic visitor than meets the eye? 👁️

With only a handful of suspects left to meet, the countdown to opening night is well and truly on. Keep following our cast reveals and see if you can work out whodunnit before the case is solved!

So tell us…Misunderstood outsider or the prime suspect? 😬

10/06/2026

🩸 SUSPECT #5 🩸

The investigation continues at Bagshot House… 🔎

Our next suspect is Elizabeth Hartley-Trumpington, a lady of refinement, confidence and impeccable social standing.

At least, that’s what she’d like everyone to believe.

With murder in the air and suspicion falling on every guest, Elizabeth remains perfectly composed. Perhaps a little too composed…

🎭 Fleur Boxall as Elizabeth Hartley-Trumpington
🩸 “Nothing to hide… obviously”

Confident. Charming. Completely innocent?

Or is Elizabeth simply very good at keeping secrets?

As opening night draws closer, the mystery deepens and the suspect list grows. Keep following our cast reveals and see if you can spot the culprit before Inspector Pratt takes charge of the investigation.

What's the verdict: Open book or hiding something in plain sight? 🤔

08/06/2026

🩸 SUSPECT #4 🩸

The guest list at Bagshot House is growing… and so is our list of suspects. 🔎

Next under the spotlight is Margaret Craddock, wife of Colonel Charles Craddock.

Standing by her husband’s side through thick and thin can’t always be easy. Especially when there’s a murder to solve, secrets to uncover and suspicions around every corner…

🎭 Lesley Jones as Margaret Craddock
🩸 “Long-suffering… or plotting?”

Margaret may appear patient and composed, but appearances can be deceiving. Is she simply enduring the chaos unfolding around her, or is she playing a more active role in events than anyone suspects?

As we continue our countdown to opening night, remember: everyone is a suspect, and nobody is quite what they seem!

What do you think... 🤔 Loyal wife or master manipulator?

06/06/2026

🩸 SUSPECT #3 🩸

🔎 Suspect files are still being compiled…

While we wait for one member of the Bagshot House household to come in for questioning, here’s another guest who happened to be present on that fateful evening…

Meet Colonel Charles Craddock.

A military man with a commanding presence, Colonel Craddock is accustomed to being listened to. But in a house full of secrets, suspicions and murder, confidence alone may not be enough…

🎭 Steve Heritage as Colonel Charles Craddock
🩸 “Bluster over substance”

Is the Colonel the dependable man he appears to be, or is there more to his story than meets the eye?

As our list of suspects continues to grow, so do the questions. Keep following our countdown to opening night as we introduce the colourful cast of Peter Gordon’s hilarious spoof murder mystery, Murdered to Death.

So tell us…
🤔 Harmless old soldier or someone hiding in plain sight?

04/06/2026

🩸 SUSPECT #2 🩸

The guest list is growing… and so is the list of suspects. 🔎

Next up, meet Bunting, the loyal butler of Bagshot House.

Every great country house mystery has a butler. Quiet. Observant. Always present. Usually polishing silver while everyone else is busy accusing each other…

🎭 Peter Lancaster as Bunting
🩸 “Knows more than he lets on”

Bunting has seen everything that happens under the roof of Bagshot House. The question is… how much does he know, and what is he keeping to himself?

As we continue our countdown to opening night, we’ll be introducing more of the suspects from Peter Gordon’s hilarious murder mystery spoof, Murdered to Death.

So what do you think? 🤔 Trustworthy servant or prime suspect?

02/06/2026

🩸 LESS THAN 3 WEEKS UNTIL OPENING NIGHT! 🩸

As the countdown begins to our production of Murdered to Death, it’s time to meet the cast…

Or should that be… the suspects? 🔎

First up is Mildred Bagshot, the owner of Bagshot House and hostess to a weekend that quickly descends into mystery, mayhem and murder!

🎭 Pauline Birch as Mildred Bagshot
🩸 “The owner with everything to lose”

But is she simply an unfortunate hostess caught up in events… or does she know more than she’s letting on?

Over the next three weeks we’ll be introducing all of our suspects. Keep an eye out for clues, motives and secrets as we reveal the cast one by one.

Can you work out whodunnit before Inspector Pratt arrives? 🕵️
