Act One

Before the play begins, the stage crew of the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society are making last minute adjustments to the set. However, they run out of time fixing the mantelpiece and are forced to take it off stage with them. Chris, the head of the drama company, announces the commencement of the murder mystery, 鈥淢urder at Haversham Manor鈥�, missing his spotlight as he does so. He alludes to their previous, disastrous attempts at putting on productions and the hilarious casting problems they have encountered before. He is therefore thrilled to introduce their latest production.

The play begins but the first cast member (Jonathan playing 鈥楥harles Haversham鈥�) trips over in the dark during his entrance. When the lights come up, he freezes on the floor. The lights go down and suddenly come back up again, with Jonathan posed as dead on the chaise longue. Robert (playing 鈥楾homas Colleymoore鈥�) and Dennis (playing 鈥楶erkins the Butler鈥�) try to make their entrance but the door is stuck.
