Description

This play is a jolly whodunnit with songs. It turns out that Grandma and Grandpa – before they were married – were known as Sherlock Holmes and Jane Marple (no, we couldn’t believe it, either!). So, Grandpa Holmes and Grandma Marple join forces with the Police Sergeant to investigate the crime. They interview Father Christmas, Mrs Christmas, the Elves, Rudolph, some Snowmen and yet, in the end, the culprit comes as a complete surprise!

Songs suggested in the script are:

  • Rockin Around the Christmas Tree
  • I wish it could be Christmas everyday
  • Frosty the Snowman
  • We wish you a Merry Christmas
  • Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
  • Jingle Bells
  • We wish you a Merry Christmas

As with all our plays, there are full production notes that give advice on scenery, prop and costume making.

We would just like to point out that our plays are free to perform for educational institutions and registered youth groups only. If you are an adult or youth drama group that charges a paying audience, you will then have to apply to us for a licence to perform. We are sure that you understand that playwrights actually earn very little money and our company is committed to generating some income for our writers wherever possible. The licence fees for the Playstage Group (Playstage Senior, YA and Junior) are much lower than larger, well-established play publishers.
