MURDER AT THE GRANGE by Robb Johnson
Christmas morning. A dead man in a locked bedroom
in a house full of secrets. Everybody has a motive.
But who’s got the key?
Murder At The Grange is a Christmas murder mystery created by acclaimed songwriter Robb Johnson & performed by Robb & The Xmas Irregulars in the style of a BBC radio drama, with added original festive songs. Blending the classic conventions of the Whodunnit with the traditions of Christmas, it’s an evening of suspense & comedy… murder, mince pies, mistletoe and a private eye.
“A cracker of a show… a delightful extravaganza and a uniquely dark and different way to celebrate the winter season” – Folk Radio review 2022
Comments from 2023 tour:
"A tunefully festive whodunnit punctuated by Robb Johnson's smart, funny and earwormy songs all performed to perfection by a talented cast of actor musicians."
- Nate Rogers | Artistic Manager, Electric Theatre Guildford
"MATG is a mystery play with fascinating and gripping dialogue interspersed with beautifully performed music. I love it when you can see the spellbound look on the faces in the audience that cracks frequently into laughter in response to the brilliantly exaggerated characters and great acting. But the singing and playing are something else!. A wonderful andoriginal show". -Leigh Sayers, Toft House, The Home Of Unpopular Music.
“A most excellent evening” -The Samuel Worth Chapel, Sheffield
“We managed to catch ‘Murder at The Grange’ yesterday in Guildford. Loved it. Well paced,well acted, loved the songs and the ending was far superior to ‘The Mousetrap’ so I won't divulge that to anyone either. Well done to all involved. A delightful evening in the theatre.” - audience member
