The play in question, at the centre of its conceit, is titled The Murder At Haversham Manor; purporting to have been written by Susie H.K. Brideswell, in reality, a fictional author, and performed by the equally fictional Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society, it’s a 1920s murder mystery comedy that opens with the slaying of Charles Haversham on the night of his engagement to Florence Colleymoore. The CPDS are gamely attempting to do it justice, but suffice to say they put the amateur in ‘amateur theatre company’, and the result is slapstick and farce.

The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society (CPDS) is the fictional theatre society that puts on the productions in the GWEU. They are an often inept group of people, who are either bad actors, stagehands, or unable to do well due to unfortunate circumstances. There are several members who joined the society purely for extra credit or because no other society would take them.
