Whodunnit in Newlyn

MURDERED to Death – St Peter's Players' latest production which is being staged over the next three days – is a comedy/drama in the best Agatha Christie tradition, written by Peter Gordon.

Directed by Cathy Kay and Leslie Bailey, the action takes place in a manor house in the 1930s where the owner and her niece hold a dinner party for friends only for the owner to be mysteriously murdered.

Suspicions are cast in all directions and a bumbling police inspector, a mild-mannered constable and a well-meaning local sleuth combine to find whodunnit.

Murdered to Death is being staged tonight (Thursday), tomorrow and Saturday at 7.30pm at St Peter's Church Hall, Newlyn; tickets priced at £5 for adults (£3 children) can be bought in advance from Supercards in Penzance, Penzance Computers in Penzance, Newlyn Pharmacy and the Tolcarne Inn; or on the door.
