Ee bah gum… the most (Bos)Worth-y of murder mysteries!

‘Blackadder’ meets ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ in this hysterical-historical whodunit.


The discovery of Duke William Longbottom’s headless skeleton during recent construction work has created a bit of a national stir, something which celebrity ‘Spookbusters’, Clare Voyant and Si Kick, have been eager to cash in on. The paranormal pair duly invite you to the Longbottom’s family home, Snetterdale Castle on the Yorkshire/Lancashire border, hoping to unearth the truth. Yet on summoning his grace’s troubled spirit, we learn that not only did the Yorkist Duke come to a particularly grisly end (inside Snetterdale on the day of ‘the Battle of Bosworth’) but also that he’s ‘reet miffed abaht ‘avin’ kicked’ t’bucket’ at all, and desperate to find out more…

But who would do such a medi-evil thing…?

Franklin Bodge, the long-time servant to the Longbottom family…

Brigitte de Bardot, William’s sixth wife, duchess of Snetterdale...

Catherine Longbottom, their feisty, headstrong daughter…

Brother Heathcliffe Nosferatus, monk and castle ‘divinator’…

Or…

Captain Lancelot G’Lant, William’s dashingly rakish army captain?

Our TV ghosthunters enlist the help of their Spookbusting audience to help identify which of the phantasmic five is a Yorkshire Pudding and who’s the Yorkshire Terrier…!!

‘Knight of the (Medi-)Evil Dead’ is ‘a reet champion piece’ which satirises both ‘History’ and ‘the rivalry between Yorkshire and Lancashire’*. Its larger-than-life characters and tongue-in-cheek humour are guaranteed to appeal to a lively troupe.

(*Comments added to the script where indicated, will make the piece relevant to any region.)


‘Knight of the (Medi-)Evil Dead’, despite being classed as a Murderplays’ Short, still has an approximate 'running' time of 1 hour 10 minutes, providing for a full evening’s entertainment. It requires 8 characters, 5M/3F. Yet as the celebrity paranormalists can be played by an actor of either sex, it’s also possible to be staged with either 4M/4F or 6M/2F. All 8 characters have significant roles.
