MURDERED TO DEATH

7 - 11 July 2026
Players Theatre, Hurstpierpoint
7.30pm (bar opens 30mins prior)

Guests at a country manor house become the target of a killer. The plot centres on an incompetent Inspector Pratt investigating the deaths, alongside an amateur sleuth, Miss Maple. The play has all the classic Christie archetypes: a butler, a stiff-upper-lipped colonel, a shady art dealer, and a high-society woman, all caught up in the side-splitting antics and escalating confusion. The important thing is - can Miss Maple solve this one?

ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS

15 - 19 September 2026
Players Theatre, Hurstpierpoint
7.30pm (bar opens 30mins prior)

Set over a single frantic day in 1963 Brighton, Francis works for two men, gangster Roscoe, and upper class twit Stanley. Can he keep them from meeting or learning of the other?

Complicating events, Roscoe is really Rachel, Roscoe's twin sister in disguise. Roscoe has been killed by Rachel's boyfriend... who is none other than Stanley.

Complicating it further still is local mobster Charlie the Duck, whose daughter Pauline was engaged to Roscoe, but is now in love with over-the-top actor Alan.

Yet further complications are prompted by several letters, a two trunks, several unlucky audience volunteers, an extremely elderly waiter and Francis' pursuit of his own passions: Dolly (Charlie's feminist bookkeeper) and fish & chips.
