The scene of the crime

The seat is at the back of the theatre so it's quite likely that no one would have seen the murder. On the floor by the seat you find a phile of liquid which smells of hawthorns.

A stranger sitting in a nearby seat sees that you are looking around. He comes over and speaks to you. "Are you investegating the death of the priest? I was here yesterday and saw him. I left soon after Bacchylides' poem started - it was dreadful and he's normally so good. The priest was alive when I left."
