8 Jul 2025 - 12 Jul 2025

A plucky amateur dramatic theatre is about to produce a show called Murder Most Foul, a new murder mystery play with the same title as an Agatha Christie novel but with no relation to it whatsoever. The director/theatre manager, Gerry, thought producing the play was a good idea since the inexperienced playwright has agreed to let the company perform the show for no charge. Gerry, however, has no idea what disasters awaited her: the show is hilariously amateur, the murder mystery plot doesn't really have a murder, and to top it off the playwright keeps changing the story and script only two days from its premiere! It doesnt help that the cast is disgruntled, and the playwright accidentally deletes the entire sound effect board. All of the disasters come to fruition in Act III when the company performs the actual show with hilarious mishaps at every turn. Its essentially a precursor to the plays that go wrong. Our Cast Is: - Gerry Dave Martin - Henry Tim Hands - Polly Lizzie Murphy - Billy Dan Hands - Violet Sophie Marlowe - Saul Den Murphy - Smitty Emma Beckett - Aggie Kate Cary - Louise Rebecca Matthews - Phyllis Barbara Lloyd Tickets on sale from 10th June. If you wish to purchase the wheelchair/companion seats then please contact the theatre ticket office directly during office hours. Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French, inc.
