Comedy Whodunnits - for your ears

Following on from the award-winning success of Crimes Against Christmas, New Old Friends present more Comedy Whodunnits for your ears. Witty wordplay, hilarious characters and silly voices all wrapped up in fiendishly clever plots. Imagine the literary love-child of Agatha Christie and P.G. Wodehouse performed by two lovable fools and your halfway there. Creating these has been one of the only benefits of our theatre tours being postponed. Hope you enjoy.
