    • Who murdered the Archbishop of Canterbury?
    • Why must Queen Elizabeth never marry?
    • Who wrote Shakespeare's plays?
    • What is the secret of Dr John Dee's magical powers?
    • ...and can England be saved from defeat by the Spanish Armada?

    Court in the Act
    The Court of St James's Palace, London, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. All present have but lately arrived from the Royal premier of Master Shakespeare's latest rib-tickling comedy, Two Ladies of Venice. Now, the Queen makes merry and entertains her courtiers, guests, would-be husbands and envoys from foreign powers with a sumptuous banquet. But while all prepare to feast and frolic, dark clouds gather, the sound of war-drums is heard in the distance - and that dear old man the Archbishop of Canterbury, who surely had never an enemy in the world, is found brutally murdered.

    Court in the Act lasts for about four hours and is suited to an evening. It is often played over a meal - a finger buffet if possible to allow guests to circulate and talk in private.

    The free introductory pdf file (35 KB) contains an introduction to the game, a list of all the characters, an invitation to send to your guests - plus details of how to buy the game.
