🎬 ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION
This is an original mystery story written as a tribute to Dame Agatha Christie's beloved detective, Miss Jane Marple. While inspired by Christie's characters and settings, this particular case is entirely new.
Author's Note: "Everyone Lied Except the Old Lady" explores themes central to the Miss Marple tradition—the wisdom found in careful observation, the dangers of dismissing witnesses based on age or social status, and the truth that lies beneath respectable facades.
