It’s the biggest Boisjoly by bounds when none other than Anty’s friendly rival Inspector Wittersham is the only suspect in a locked-room murder.

Of course Anty doesn’t believe that Inspector Wittersham murdered a prisoner locked in a cell to which only he had the key, but the more twists and secrets and hidden treasure he digs up, the more evidence he finds that proves Wittersham guilty.

To save his friend, Anty must draw on his judgemental mum, woolly valet, a constable named Constable, a goat of dubious loyalties, endless eccentrics, and his own depths of wit and anecdote as he delves deeply into the history of medieval England and the dark mysteries of his own family.

With your help and by popular demand, Tim Bruce will return to reproduce Anty, Inspector Wittersham, Vickers, Anty’s mum, a vast cast of eccentrics, and the much-anticipated scene in which Anty and Ivor impersonate one another.

The one with Anty’s mum

Anty travels to the Riviera to finally have that awkward ‘did you murder my father’ conversation with his mother, but instead finds himself in the ticklish position of defending her and an innocent elephant against charges of a murder that no one could have committed.

The multi-talented, multi-voiced Tim Bruce once again brings to life a broad repertory cast including Anty and his aging valet Vickers, his acerbic mother and her high-living cousin, an elephant, an impresario, and the opening number of hit high-wire musical, Trapezy-Peasy.
