A dead headmaster and an array of well-motivated,
potential murderers but who was the killer?

The Murder Mystery Evening, hosted by King James’s School PTA at the school, drew a highly appreciative audience of sleuths to solve the whodunit – Murder of the Headmaster.

The crowd enjoyed a display of superb acting skills directed by Mike Bindon, Head of Drama, and his troupe of actors comprising Becky Gill, Jennie Westmacott, Tom Roberts, Roxy Andreuccetti, Jack Ackroyd, J B Bradd, Andrew Crompton and Jess Robinson.

A tempting range of refreshments and a well-stocked bar kept the audience fuelled in their hunt for the murderer and accomplice who were finally revealed to be the caretaker and the Headmaster’s Secretary.

There were prizes for the best comedy answer, the murder mystery quiz and overall Super Sleuths were 'The Very Hot (temperature wise) Totties' comprising Heather Roberts, Sally Fordham, Anne Page, Alison Harper and Stephanie Evans.

A huge thank you to all those who helped out or came to the event which raised a total of over £200 for PTA funds and which showcased the versatility and range of acting talent within the school.
