Something's Afoot - French's Musical Library

Musical Mystery / additional music by Ed Linderman / Casting: 6m, 4f / Scenery: Interior

Scored for seven instruments. May be done with one piano. A zany, entertaining show that takes a satirical poke at Agatha Christie mysteries and musical styles of past years. Ten people are stranded in an isolated English country house during a raging thunderstorm. One by one they're picked off by cleverly fiendish devices. As the bodies pile up in the library, the survivors frantically race to uncover the identity and motivation of the cunning culprit.

"Both a spoof and a tribute to Agatha Christie ... played with fine tuned, flamboyantly melodramatic affectations." -- L. A. Times.
