Performer Name: Lottie Davies/Welsh Shakespeare Company

Show Name: Miss Boot Solves a Murder

Show Description

There's been a murder! When the pub landlord in her sleepy village is mysteriously murdered, middle-aged armchair detective Miss Boot cant resist running a vigilante investigation. She's watched Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders and Vera for long enough, who says she can't kick her little grey cells into gear and crack the case? Bolstered by her new best friend (the wife of the deceased) and the nosy old lady from next door, Miss Boot follows the baffling trail of clues deep into the seedy underbelly of the Parish Council Bake Sale, behind the pews of a tricky sermon and to the bright lights of Cardiff. Will she find the means, motive and opportunity? And can the killer be caught? Get your knitting needles at the ready and join in the quest to give Miss Marple a run for her money. Miss Boot Solves a Murder is a wild one-woman comedy with one actor performing over 30 characters, at least one song and a chase scene through Cardiff all on her own. Expect fast paced comedy and a lot of murder mystery puns in the race to catch the killer! Lottie Davies is a professional actor, writer and improviser, this is her 4th touring show and the 1st new writing production created by the Welsh Shakespeare Company. The show usually runs without an interval but one can be inserted if needed.
