Acorn TV’s ’80s Set 'Murder Before Evensong' Is Remarkably Timely

Murder Before Evensong, AcornTV’s latest murder mystery, is set in the 1980s with the AIDS epidemic as a backdrop. Gay people, those diagnosed with AIDS, and those who support them and love them are ostracized and condemned. More than 40 years later, it’s hard to understand people being judged by who they chose to love and how they chose to live their lives.

Kidding!

Sadly, even though Murder Before Evensong, based on the Canon Clement Mysteries series by Reverend Richard Coles, takes place almost four decades ago, many of its themes resonate today, making this ostensibly period piece remarkably timely.
