A surprise Birthday party for Clarissa Hopgood has been arranged by Alice, Clarissa’s long-suffering companion at the Chez Lindsey’s Restaurant. The guests have arrived and are waiting for Clarissa. However, the evening does not go as planned and the search is on for a murderer. Not everyone is who they say they are, so it is up to the audience to solve the crime.
With excitement, intrigue and foul play, trickery is most definitely afoot. Are you a Miss Marple or a Morse? Please come along to help solve the mystery to this fund raising event with a difference, where the audience are invited to play detective.
Performed for one night only by The Bethel Players at the Players Theatre, Lowestoft, this play has been described as Agatha Christie meets Fawlty Towers. All proceeds raised will be donated to the popular town centre venue owned by The Lowestoft Players.
