Our Next Production - June 2017!

Death by Fatal Murder

Our next production will be 'Death by Fatal Murder' a comedy drama by Peter Gordon and a sequel to the very funny 'Murdered to Death'. The production dates will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd June 2017 with the technical rehearsal on the 27th May.

 If you are interested in reading for a part in the play then please come along or email Wendy Lodge for more details. If you are interested in being part of the production but not on stage we are also looking for a 2nd director to help as well as backstage roles such as sound, lighting,and stage manager.

About the play: Inspector Pratt’s record of crime detection at Bagshot House in not enviable. In his two previous visits, chronicled in Murdered to Death and Secondary Cause of Death, the body count mounted disastrously as he looked on, helpless and hopeless! Now he is back and, as usual, chaos reigns supreme.

During the course of his latest investigations, Pratt meets the new owner of the house, Nancy Allwright and soon he is embroiled in more mystery, aided and abetted by Miss Maple and Constable Thomkins. Upper-crust Ginny and Italian gigolo Enzo help with enquiries but danger soon looms with an unexpected arrival, and a frightening suggestion by Welsh busybody, Blodwyn Morgan.

If you are interested in taking part, please e-mail Wendy Lodge, e-mail address: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

We look forward to seeing you there!
