AUDIENCES LOVE “THE OILY RAG MURDER” !

The Oily Rag Murder
by Kaz Getts is an hilarious who-dunnit set in World War 2 London at the height of the Blitz.  With nods to Agatha Christie and Midsomer Murders this puzzle has everything: a beautiful heiress, a scheming femme-fatale, a flawed war hero and a despicable lawyer.

A cast of colourful reprobates keeps the laughs coming including the Dracula-esque pharmacist and the very odd assistant, the wily Uncle Bunny and his peculiar sister Hettie, dottie Aunt Norah and the long-suffering housekeeper, Dulcie. Directed by Gerry James. More info. Just a few of the rave reviews:

“Loved it!” “Very clever comedy!”
 “A hoot from start to finish!”
“I didn’t pick it at all!”
“What a fabulous cast!” “Awesome!”
