THIS MORTAL COIL
“Aulos Productions deliver a fun audio murder-mystery drama
that pokes fun at every facet of the theatre world”
The Wee Review
“A fun, diverting listen…worth returning to for future episodes.”
Buxton Fringe 2020 – Reviews
When a Hamlet-inspired murder ruins her dress rehearsal, Elissa’s delighted. The detective’s an old actor pal and she’d forgotten her lines anyway.
Lured in by the promise of Jammie Dodgers, Elissa pursues a dastardly killer with a penchant for Shakespeare. A comedy audio murder mystery by award-winning writer James Beagon.
