Mystery At Greenfingers

Written by J B Priestley

Produced by Phil Davis

Production Dates: 1st/2nd October 2010

Synopsis

This 'comedy of detection', as Priestley called it, is set in the 1930s in the Greenfingers Palace Hotel on the edge of the Peak District. A small advance party of staff arrive a fortnight early to prepare the hotel for the opening season and find themselves snowbound as the weather takes a turn for the worse, roads become impassable and telephone lines go down. This, however, does not prevent surprise visitors arriving at the hotel, the first of whom is Mr. Crowther, the hotel company’s detective. Mr Crowther is closely followed by the mysterious Miss Tracey who insists on being accommodated at the hotel with her companion, Mrs. Jernigan, who soon disappears – presumably murdered – and leaves Detective Crowther with a cartload of mysteries to solve. Never one to shy away from the task, he immediately sets to work, interrogating and accusing staff members one by one, ingeniously discovering clues, and coming to audaciously clever conclusions – or, at least, so he thinks.
