Performing Now

Our 105th season continues with:

A Murder is Announced
by Agatha Christie
Adapted for the stage by Leslie Darbon
Directed by: Rebecca Gleason

​

An announcement in the local paper states the time and place when a murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock's Victorian house. The victim is not one of the house's several occupants, but an unexpected and unknown visitor. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death and a determined inspector grimly following the case's twists and turns. Fortunately, Miss Marple is on hand to provide the solution – at some risk to herself – in a dramatic final confrontation.
