An anthology of short mystery plays. Better by the dozen! This book of twelve royalty-free mystery plays allows you to choose from a wide variety of plays to fit whatever your current staging and casting needs may be. They are especially workable for middle grades and high school, but they may be performed by actors of all ages. Each of the plays has an element of mystery that is often laced with comedy. 'The Mother Goose Mystery' features a cast of suspicious nursery-rhyme-quoting characters. In 'Queen of Hearts' a young Shakespeare helps solve a crime. 'The Clue in the Library' is perfect for a library fundraiser. 'Mummy's a Zombie!' is a classic farce. All of the plays are fun to perform on-stage or in the classroom.
