←Recommendations of Christmas Crime Scene

As an avid fan of holiday plays, this one truly takes the fruitcake! Comedically hapless circumstances bring two adverse lovers together on a chaotic sleighride of a Christmas celebration. Witty and fun-filled!

A fun little play that both embraces and skewers Christmas traditions while adding some new twists. Playing out like an old noir murder mystery, David Beardsley gives us a terrific little present that would delight an audience.

Its the brilliant absurdity of the characters that caught my attention right from the very beginning. Nick's passion for the festive season coupled with Mary's devastating (if slightly amusing) relationship with the same festive season had me giggling almost instantly. The play then keeps giving with the connection of the classic Christmas story to the chaos that is actually happening. You would think that every tale that could be associated with Christmas has been done but this writer takes the audience through a wonderfully funny and fantastic new story that can't fail to make you giggle!

David Beardsley has packed twelve days of plot twists into ten hilarious minutes. With a dead Santa, merry mayhem, a revolving door string of Santas, and even a sketchy lawyer named Rudy, this is a noir holiday comedy wrapped with a bow. Pour an eggnog and enjoy, kid.

Truly hilarious comedy in the noir tradition and the Christmas tradition at the same time.

It's not a "noel" Christmas - it's a Christmas "noir", and a good one! Beardsley's CHRISTMAS CRIME SCENE Is packed with juicy plot twists and wonderful physical comedy. A fabulous short play that certainly should deck the halls of any holiday play shorts festival!

Hilarious play with more twists and turns than the Indy 500. This play has some wonderfully funny moments and sight gags and I love transformations! As a holiday sceptic, I enjoy the cynicism in this comedy/mystery!
