Humpty-Dumpty Is Missing! or The Mysterious Case of the Fallen Egg
May 29 – 31 2026 at Sydenham-Heritage United Church Hall, Brantford ON
By Joseph Robinette with Special Arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois
This play for the young and young-at-heart, is an affectionate spoof of the private eye thrillers of the 1940’s and 50’s. Sammy Scoop is a private investigator in the tradition of his grandfather, Samuel Shovel, and his father, Sam Spade.
Sammy faces the biggest challenge of his illustrious career with the sudden fall and disappearance of the jolly Humpty-Dumpty who apparently has no enemies. But Sammy and his sidekick, Alice from Dallas, soon come up with a list of suspects who had motive and opportunity: Mistress Mary, Rip Van Winkle, Henny-Penny, Peter Rabbit and his sisters, Rapunzel…among many other suspects called up on the carpet. A last-minute surprise appearance by two of fairy tales’ most celebrated characters – Old Mother Hubbard, and Mother Goose – finally help Sammy nab the culprit.
