The play - Midnight Murder At Hamlington Hall - is a classic whodunnit story, lovingly adapted by Shane Tweed from the dubiously written novel by crime writer Mabel Shtint. A mixed bag of characters are invited to a secluded mansion, people keep getting murdered and we have to figure out who is the culprit.

Our troupe of players soldier on bravely through all the pitfalls of theatre…ill-fitting costumes, bad wigs, forgotten lines, bad acting, missing sound effects - the list goes on - and somehow manage to make it to the end of the show.

Along the way the leading couple manage to realise they are in love, the stage manager discovers her talent for acting, the resident stalwart gets knocked down a peg or two and in a final twist we learn the audience member plucked out to perform is actually the local councillor sent to decide the fate of the Players.

Providing the adage true - The show must go on. Even when it sometimes probably shouldn't.
