Transcript of Away with the Pharaohs Murder Mystery

  • On the 3rd of August 1923 filming for the Oscar-winning motion picture Away with the Pharaohs has been had been underway for a month. However on that fateful day disaster struck sealing you all in the tomb of Seti I. In the eerie darkness a script assistant, Arabella Sands, was impaled on the ears of a golden cat used in the scene.

    The case has remained unsolved for ten years. Now on the brink of the long-awaited sequel, the film company brings you back to the scene of the crime where one or more of you murdered Arabella. The suspects are (in alphabetical order):

    LAURENCE ARIBIER You are a great Shakespearean English actor with more years of experience than brain cells. You were the lead in Away with the PharaohsCostume suggestion: Youve just finished filming in the Middle East so a Sheikh outfit - white and cool - with a tan.

    BIFF. E. CAIRO - You were an extra in the scene ten years ago and you take your work very seriouslyCostume suggestion: You are ready for action in the sequel and have dressed in Egyptian dress accordingly.

    MABEL LEAN - You are a favourite of all actors and actresses needing a little sprucing up. Youve been a make up artist for many years and worked on Away with the PharaohsCostume suggestion: Whilst you dont earn as much as the stars of film you do like to present yourself stylishly with flourishes of colour and jewellery.

    DR NIALL LIVINGSTONE - You were and are the consultant archaeologist on set. Coicidentally you also discovered the tomb of Seti I.Costume suggestion: Tweed and cord would be fitting, however youve had years in the desert so youve learnt how to combine your old professor style with some cooling methods like a hanky on the head etc.

    JOHN MUMIFORD - You are the rather eccentric director of Away with the Pharaohs and its sequel. You have quirky, artistic ways.Costume suggestion: Light non-descript suit, perhaps with a few tea bags and handkerchiefs in your pockets.

    THEA PETRA - You are the exotic beauty whose career in movies has been outshone only by your own opinion of yourself. Costume suggestion: Very sophisticated and glamourous to the extreme

    FRAULEIN KATYA SPHINTZ - You are the very loyal, slightly deaf, German archaeological assistant to Dr Livingstone.Costume suggestion: You are used to pale colours and useful clothes but youve added a bit of make-up and jewellery for the occasion.

    DR LUCIEN TUTT - You were the medical doctor on site in 1923 to stop people expiring in the Egyptian heat. Youve returned to your post for the sequel.Costume suggestion: You carry a bit of extra weight (a bit like a pillow) below your larger shirt and trousers and have a ruddy face.
