Father Brown

Lady Felicia welcomes a distinguished circle of renowned writers to Montague, hoping the visit will secure her an ambitious publishing deal. However, the gathering is shattered by a shocking murder, turning the event into an intense thrilling dark mystery drama.

The Sisters of Aeschylus is a television programme presented as a single episode, classed within the mystery‑drama genre. It’s billed simply as an episode‑length story, rather than a series, and its title hints at classical allusion while the format remains that of a self‑contained drama. The central narrative follows Lady Felicia, who extends an invitation to a distinguished circle of writers to visit the estate at Montague. She hopes the gathering will finally secure her a place in print, but the atmosphere turns dark when a murder occurs, eclipsing her publishing ambitions. The intrigue centres on the clash between literary aspiration and a deadly crime that disrupts the weekend. The production features performances by Mark Williams and Nancy Carroll, who bring the key characters to life within the suspenseful framework. As a mystery drama, the piece leans on the tension between the genteel world of the literary elite and the sudden, violent disruption that forces everyone to confront the reality that not all stories end on a happy note.
