Welcome to Paige Turner’s library, the repository of all past Murder Village whodunnits. The book may be closed on these cases, but they stand here as totems to those villagers lost to murder most foul. Fittingly, at least three of them died at Paige Turner’s hand. That is, before she herself was murdered.

The sordid set of suspects involved in the last days of Turpsickery Tell (Jason Geary), who was drowned in a baptisimal font, naturally. Actually, technically it wasn’t a natural death; a nun did it.

The sordid set of suspects involved in the last days of Turpsickery Tell (Jason Geary), who was drowned in a baptisimal font, naturally. Actually, technically it wasn’t a natural death; a nun did it.

Just a couple of years after one nun killed Turpsickery Tell, another nun killed Shirley Knot (Amy Moule). Legislation is currently being drafted by the village councillors to ensure a strict ban on all nun-related activity in Murder Village.

Herbert La Pelouse (Cale Bain), onery sod farmer and recently unmasked killer of car salesman Reggie Gamble, prepares to be carted off to Murder Village’s lone gaol cell by Detective Inspector Owen Gullet (David Massingham). Onlookers June Lily Napkins and Francis Gauge smirk. Photo by Bec Purser.

Italian fashion designer Dolce Cabana (Amy Moule) was one of the eight bodies discovered in the Village Green when we temporarily set up shop in Perth at the 2024 Fringe World Festival. Ageing child star Agatha Pantha (Kathryn Tohill) was responsible for this particular cadaver… as it happens, it was her second murder for the day.

Art dealer Tate Modern (Jason Geary) was the victim of death most dramatic during the 2024 Brisbane Comedy Festival season. Tate is seen here mid-murder, with finishing school mistress Clarinda Pleasant (Kathryn Tohill) wearing a taxidermied, monstrous hybrid of boor-tiger head as she mauled the art dealer to death. You know, normal Murder Village things. Photo by Kris Anderson.

During our Murder in the Chapel season at Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2024, one of Murder Village’s longest lived (and most disagreeable) characters met her end, when Lady Vera Bathchair (Amy Moule) was stabbed with a wicked shard of stained glass by her neice Agatha Pantha. This was also the show in which Colonel Jude Condiment (Jason Geary) seemed to regrow all of his hair. Photo by Ariel Chu.
