March 14th & 15th 2026 - treat your mum, (and yourselves) to a madcap murder mystery!
Synopsis
Agatha Crusty (pronounced Croosty) is a crime novelist. She's also pretty adept at solving crimes. And when her sister-in-law Alice invites her to spend a few days with her in the village of Chortelby, it's not long before she gets caught up in a series of murders which seem directed at members of the All Saints Village Hall committee. And so it’s up to Agatha to put her criminal mastermind to work and help Detective Inspector Twigg solve the case. But with an investigating officer as incompetent as D.I. Twigg, there are plenty of laughs as the murders begin to pile up. While packed full of wit and very funny scenes, this is also a genuine murder mystery with an ingenious plot which will tax the little grey cells of ther audience at the same time!

Gone But Not Forgotten
Sadly, we lost two of our members all too early in life. We still speak fondly of them and they will aways remain part of our Cast & Crew family’s greatest memories
Robert Simmons 1964-2018
Rob was one of a kind. A brilliant director, hilarious comedy actor and a precious and caring friend. He suffered severely from the debilitating afflictions that come from serious diabetes and after struggling with limb amputation and poor eyesight, sadly lost the fight to remain well on Earth. We are sure Heaven has given him back his health.
"So, run free dear friend, feel no sorrow or pain, and watch us with eyes that see clearly again"
Tom Jea 1963-2019
Tom was one of our long standing backstage boys who sadly lost his battle with cancer after a brave and astounding fight. He was our gadget man and always had such a positive and cheerful outlook - even until the end. We will miss this huge personality greatly.
“The clouds in the sky are just your giant vape, so fly through them happy Tom, with Rob, your old mate.”
