UPCOMING SHOWS
F.A.H.E.T.W.G.D.S MURDER MYSTERY
In these not-so-easy times, nothing could be more welcome than a charming, funny and lighthearted evening’s entertainment. The ladies of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society (F.A.H.E.T.G.D.S.) are a force to be reckoned with and are ready to take you on a journey into a whodunit Murder Mystery!!!
With the venue set as cabaret style with tables of 8 patrons can bring a basket supper and BYO drinks - so making it affordable fun for all!
This play is set in the drawing room of Checkmate Manor. The family gathers for the reading of the will of the late Sir Reginald Bishop. However, someone else has designs on the Checkmate millions, and will stop at nothing to get them. The extended Bishop and Knight family (and their retainers) gather for the reading of their recently departed patriarch’s will. In quick succession, many of them succumb to the dastardly plan of our mystery murderer, determined to reduce the too-large pool of potential beneficiaries.
It appears everyone has a motive, and everyone is a suspect in a classic whodunit farce. Along the way, the production does not go according to plan…. as the curse of AmDram strikes…. The scenery falls down, sound effects add a strange note, cues are missed, and those quick changes are just too slow. Through this adversity the ladies' soldier on, determined to provide a good evening out for their audience (which also includes a Film and Fashion Show and Murder Mystery Quiz - complete with prize)
The crunch comes in the final denouement when the murderer is about to be revealed ... and the last twist to the plot is revealed.
