Death By Design – Belvoir Players
Book TicketsWhat happens when you mix the brilliant wit of Noël Coward with the intricate plotting of Agatha
Christie?
Set during a weekend in an English country manor in 1932, Death by Design is a delightful and
mysterious “mash-up” of two of the greatest English writers of all time.
Edward Bennett, a playwright, and his wife, Sorel Bennett, an actress, flee London and head to
Cookham after a disastrous opening night. But various guests arrive unexpectedly – a conservative
politician, a fiery socialist, a nearsighted ingénue, a zany modern dancer – each with a long-held secret.
When one of the guests is murdered, it’s left to Bridgit, the feisty Irish maid with a macabre interest in
homicide, to solve the crime.
Death by Design is more than homage – it’s a new classic.
