Rehearsals begin!
We’ve started rehearsals for The Mirror Crack’d and everything is going well. We’ll post some photos here soon - but no spoilers obviously!
Autumn production revealed!
We are very excited to announce that our autumn production will be The Mirror Crack’d by Agatha Christie, in an innovative new adaptation by Rachel Wagstaff.
It is 1962 and St Mary Mead has been thrown into a frenzy by the news that a glamorous American film star has bought the local manor house. Miss Marple is confined to her chair after an accident but, when there is a vicious murder, she must unravel a web of lies, tragedy and danger.
This classic whodunnit by the Queen of Crime has all the brilliant characters and twists and turns you would expect and a good dose of humour too! Come along and see if you can solve the crime before there are more murders…
“A satisfying blend of wit, drama and intrigue…a modern take on a crime classic…contemporary and fresh!”
21, 22 and 23 November 2024 at the Forum Northallerton.
