Girls are wearing trousers and Hollywood has come to a sleepy English village in the shape of a beautiful film star. Miss Marple is left to feel that the world has no need of her now, until a mysterious death calls into question the past of all those present. Everyone’s version of events is different. Can Miss Marple unravel the tangle of ties? This thrilling new play, based on Agatha Christie’s novel, explores how we all colour our own memories, our own truths, to disguise the darkness that lies within. An outstanding cast includes Susie Blake (Coronation Street, Mrs Brown’s Boys, Victoria Wood As Seen On TV) as Miss Marple, Simon Shepherd (Peak Practice, Casualty) as Detective Inspector Craddock and Julia Hills (Worst Wedding Ever) as Dolly Bantry.
