Reviews

A very fun mystery and performance.


(5 stars)

The characters’ parts were very well done, with a little humor here and there. The young lawyer and courageous Aunt Sarah (who comes to the rescue as the new “Miss Sherlock”) were my favorites. The mystery kept me in suspense until the end, a clever plot. It requires a bit of patience to listen to brief stage movements and scenery descriptions throughout, but these take place quickly and after a while I barely noticed them. The story moved along smoothly just as if it were a novel rather than a play. The individual voices really added to understanding the story in this case. The acting was quite professional. Thank you to everyone.


(5 stars)

Cute and at times really touching little detective story and family drama, quite a bit more emotional than expected. Excellent performances by all voice actors - with special shoutout to Availle as Sarah and Devorah Allen as Lily Ann!

Thoroughly enjoyable


(4.5 stars)

More drama than puzzle mystery, just in case the title had you hoping for the latter. Great performances from the full cast, really impressive execution of a group project.

Not a dramatized mystery


(1 stars)

Sorry and I don’t mean to be insulting but if you’re looking for a dramatized mystery, this is not that.

Excellent Acting by All the Players
