The Maltese Bodkin

St. John's Players presents a hilarious comedy mystery, The Maltese Bodkin as part of the Provincial Drama Festival!

To celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday on April 23, 1564, St. John’s Players presents a fantasy romp through his plays.  The Maltese Bodkin is an entertaining casserole.  The recipe - Take Sam Spade from The Maltese Falcon, drop him in a world of Shakespearean characters and stir.  The result - a comedy mystery with a Shakespearean twist. 

Times were tough for hard boiled detective Birnam Wood. He never asked to be in London, especially in 1605. When Wood's Partner, Archie, is killed, he takes on the case that his partner worked before his untimely death.  Wood hopes it will lead him to solve the mystery of who killed Archie and why.  He has to find the killer amongst a cast of suspects that includes Viola, Richard III, Falstaff, Iago, Mercutio and a merchant from Venice. The real solution to the mystery, however, seems to be in discovering the secret behind a mysterious dagger known as the Maltese Bodkin. The worlds of detective fiction and Shakespeare collide in this "who hath done it".
