Townswomen's Guild
Dramatic Society
Murder Mystery
-by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin, Jr.
NOV 15, 16, 17, & 18, 2007
By special arrangement, PVPH opens its season with a presentation by the Farndale
Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society, of North London, UK.
These talented ladies will present the ambitious and cunning whodunit, “Murder at
Checkmate Manor” written entirely in-house, by one Mrs. Phoebe Reece, president of said
guild. Audiences across the country have delighted in this latest “British Invasion” thriller.
Come prepared for an onslaught of utter incompetence which the ladies and their sole male
colleague provide while presenting “Murder at Checkmate Manor,” a thriller in the predictable
butler-did-it mode.

Preparing for a morning sales meeting, three associates discover their supervisor, Zukasky, dead at his desk.
All three are next in line for Zukasky’s job.
A. C. immediately begins to scheme; Anne is
insecure; and Barry is indecisive and Blithering.
What’s worse, their department head, Marlino, announces
that Barry will, indeed, take over, leaving Anne
stupefied and unacknowledged for her ten years experience in the company.
Bit by bit A.C. begins to plant sly suggestions in his coworker’s minds, embroiling
them in a feud that should leave him coming out on top.
In a farcical climax, a staged break-in ends in an
unexpected promotion that has everyone looking over their
shoulder. “A
wicked little comedy, filled with sardonic wit.”
