MURDER AT MR SANTA’S WORKSHOP – CHRISTMAS WHODUNIT PLAY FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
The name’s Karlin – Ontario State Police. I bring with me my goofy French Assistant Chevin. Today we’re visiting the North Pole. Santa’s workshop. A guy, or rather an enormous elf named Frederick has been found murdered in cold blood, and his dead body laying in the spare sleigh. It’s my job to go up there, interrogate those elves and find out whodunit. And why. Let’s just hope it doesn’t take too long to get there, (It does. 4 days) they’ve left the scene untouched (They haven’t. They’ve moved the body and washed the murder weapon because it smelt funny) and that somebody owns up pretty darn quick (They wouldn’t, now would they?) A Christmas whodunit play for high school students.
