Valley Performers present
Date: 16 - 24 June 2012
Venue: Bowraville Theatre and Nambucca Entertainment Centre
"Murdered To Death" written by Peter Gordon is our major production for this year. This is a comedy/whodunit......as described on Peter's website:
"This hilarious spoof of the Agatha Christie genre is set in a country manor house in the 1930s, with an assembled cast of characters guaranteed to delight.
The play introduces the inept and bungling Inspector Pratt, who battles against the odds and his own incompetence to solve the murder of the house's owner. It soon becomes clear that the murder isn't finished yet, but will the miscreant be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will the audience die laughing first?"
"Murder to Death will perform at:
