Written by Derek Webb, 'Agatha Crusty and the Village Hall Murders' is an hilarious take on the works of the world's best-selling author Agatha Christie.
In this tale of murder and intrigue 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.
From Toby - the Vicar and Eleanor - Chair of the hall committee, to Harry Knott the caretaker and identical twins Olivia and Oliver Truscott-Pratt, there are plenty of suspects.
And with an investigating officer as incompetent as D.I. Twigg, there are laughs galore as the murders begin to pile up.
'Agatha Crusty and the Village Hall Murders' features M&D regulars Jenny Friend and Craig Drayton in the roles of Agatha Crusty and Detective Inspector Twigg.
They are joined on stage by:
- Ernie Burgers
- Megan Carney
- Simon Cato
- Lucy Jones
- Chris Larkin
- Richard Neate
- Heather Ryan
- Lyndall Ryan
- Robyn Ryan
- Ros Ryan, and
- Judy Lowe in her first M&D production.
