When it comes to solving murder mysteries, it’s always the one you least suspect! The very proper butler Jenkins and the fiery Cockney maid Sarah Jane are preparing the Covington household for a visit from Edwina Corry, the world’s greatest mystery author and friend to Lady Miranda and Colonel Covington. Other guests arriving include Lady Covington’s feisty old mother, their high-flying daughter Kat, their chatty priest who doesn’t know when to quit and the caddish, eavesdropping neighbor boy Trevor. Things are soon thrown into confusion, however, when Trevor is found stabbed to death in the kitchen. On her arrival, Edwina eagerly launches an investigation into the murder. Unfortunately, the evidence is stacked against poor Jenkins from the start, and when the bloody knife is found in his pocket, the other members of the household tie him to a chair and call the police. The only problem? Jenkins didn’t do it. And now he’s got just half an hour to figure out who the real murderer is — while still tied to the chair.

My kids performed The Butler Did It! and had a blast! The audience loved it, and the cast enjoyed every aspect from production through performance. Well done! Jacqueline A. Lindsey, Battle Mountain High School, Battle Mountain, NV
Wallinger has written a gently affectionate spoof of a drawing-room mystery, complete with a thinly veiled Agatha Christie clone and threaded with a black humor reminiscent of Arsenic and Old Lace. Christi Esterle, Broadway World
It is absolutely hysterical. It is without a doubt the funniest play that I have ever seen. Dwight Neil, Historic Fayette Theater, Fayetteville, WV
Wallinger’s script delicately sets up the mystery and the final payoff. His characters are decidedly typical of the genre, bringing both credibility and complexity to the story. There is an elegant symmetry to the plot. Bill Wheeler, Theatre Colorado blog
