The Case of the Missing Diamond
Adapted by Hannah Pullen
Setting: A small, elegant living room with a large window, a coffee table in the centre with an open jewellery box displaying a sparkling diamond necklace, and a few chairs around.
Characters:
Detective Daisy – A clever and observant detective who loves solving mysteries.
Ms. Green – The wealthy owner of the missing diamond, anxious and panicking.
Miss Finch – Ms. Green’s loyal housekeeper, always tidy and proper.
Ms. Grey – A shady character with a mysterious past who claims to be a friend of Ms. Green.
Miss Scarlet – Ms. Green’s flamboyant niece who is always seeking attention.
(The lights come up. DETECTIVE DAISY stands center stage, looking around the room. MS. GREEN is pacing nervously, frequently glancing at the empty jewelry box.)
Extract from Script:
DETECTIVE DAISY: (Stepping closer to MISS SCARLET) Miss Scarlet, do you know anything about the missing diamond?
MISS SCARLET: (Scoffing) Me? Steal? Please, Detective! I would never! Besides, I saw Ms. Grey lurking around earlier, with her shifty eyes. Very suspicious, if you ask me.
(Enter MS. GREY, wearing a sleek dress. She clutches a hat in her hands, her eyes darting around the room.)
MS GREY: (Indignant) Lurking? How rude! I wasn’t lurking, I was… admiring the diamond. Who wouldn’t want to take a closer look at such a treasure? It’s a marvel!
DETECTIVE DAISY: (Calm, observant) Interesting. And where were you when the diamond went missing, Ms. Grey?
MS. GREY: (With a sly smile) I was in the garden… enjoying the view, of course. The flowers are quite breathtaking this time of year. Surely, a simple pleasure isn’t a crime?
