    SUDS Presents: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: A Murder Mystery


    ABOUT THE SHOW:

    When Mrs. Ferrars is discovered dead from an apparent suicide, the tiny village of King’s Abbot is thrown into chaos. Her fiancé, Roger Ackroyd, the wealthiest man in town, suspects an arranged killing. Within hours, Ackroyd too is found dead, a clear victim of murder. 

    With many hiding their own secrets and motives, the police are at a loss for who to suspect. After a lack of evidence leads to fracturing relationships and high tensions, those close to Ackroyd seek the help of a retired detective who claims to be able to solve the mystery. In a house where nothing is as it appears and everyone holds their own secrets, the fear of another death becomes increasingly real. An Agatha Christie classic, a thrilling story of blackmail, greed and murder. 

    Written by Agatha Christie
