Secondary Cause of Death is the eagerly-anticipated sequel to Peter
Gordon's hit comedy thriller Murdered to Death (which we performed in
1998).
It is now 1939, and storm clouds are gathering over Europe. Having inherited
Bagshot House, Colonel Charles Craddock has converted the property into a hotel
for the discerning visitor. Soon Inspector Pratt arrives once again at Bagshot
House, bearing grim news for Colonel Craddock. But that's just the beginning.
Who is the strange Polish Count? Is Henrietta really an Army captain? And where
does the flamboyant thespian Cardew Longfellow fit into the picture?
When Joan Maple's sister Cynthia arrives to stage a murder mystery evening,
it's not long before Pratt's visit turns into a chaotic nightmare as the bodies
pile higher than ever!
