Pitclochry Festival Theatre

Director & Project Leader
August 2006
:: Ages, 12 - 16

Over the course of five days, I worked with a group of young people at PFT, devising a detective drama - Murder In The Manor - which was then performed in promenade around Explorer's Garden. Through the devising process we explored text, radio drama, character development and working in a site-specific context.

Here are some images from the performance:

  • The Butler welcomes guests to Barlow Manor
  • Greeting guests in the Lobby
  • The daughter and the nosey neighbour
  • There's been a murder!
  • The Detective reveals his plans
  • The drunk uncle
  • The uncle and the son drown their sorrows
  • Running to the next scene ...
  • Aha ... a secret message!
  • The Summer House
  • A family argument
  • Idle gossip in the Pantry
  • All the suspects together
  • The Detective weighs up the evidence
  • It was the Butler!
  • 'Murder In The Manor' cast
