When a priceless painting is stolen at a prestigious auction, bumbling detective Stuart Pidcock is called up to uncover the mystery. However, he is forced to enlist the help of an old nemesis to interrogate the many characterful suspects residing in the manor.


After selling out at the Camden Fringe, New Normal Festival and a 2022 Spring Tour, Shoddy Theatre are back with their multi-rolling, slapstick whodunnit? inspired by the classics of British and American comedies.
