MURDER AT THE CHATEAU by Joe Laredo

£6.00

A (melo)drama in two acts that will have you laughing, gasping and crying.

Comedy, murder mystery, melodrama and drama – Murder at the Château has all the ingredients for a funny, spooky, shocking and surprising night at the theatre

  1. Normandy, France. A gloomy and run-down country château where the beautiful widow Elisabeth, Countess of Jeufosse, lives with her lively eighteen-year-old daughter Blanche. When Laurence, Blanche’s attractive new governess, joins the household, strange things start to happen. A mysterious Black Beast is running amuck. But what – or who – is it, and why is Elisabeth so reluctant to do anything about it? What is the dark secret of the Château de Jeufosse that no one is prepared to reveal?

Murder at the Château is based on a true story – a story that shocked France and changed French law.
