Publisher's Synopsis
These three playlets are not meant as serious drama. They are designed to be performed at charitable events as a fund-raising medium. While each is self-contained, they form an ongoing narrative and with a little ingenuity could perhaps, if required, be amalgamated as a single performance.
Traditionally, however, the evening should consist of a three-course meal (as simple as you like) plus coffee, the courses to be served after each act in turn. Tables should be set for a maximum of six diners each, who will form teams competing to suggest a solution to the mystery. Prizes should be offered for successful detection.
The first playlet, The Garnermoor Inheritance, requires very little technical provision; the other two are slightly more demanding, but should not be beyond the capability of an amateur group.
Provided that the script is followed reasonably closely, the director has absolute discretion as to how the playlets are presented.
Go for it!
