It takes place at Monkswell Manor, a guest house in England. It is a typical “Who done it? mystery with a very iro- nic ending. It was presented at Hanover by Thespian Troop 1051, with perfor- mances on Thursday, Oct. 20, 1977, for the junior high, and on Friday, Oct. 21, and Saturday, Oct. 22, for the public.
