The play follows the misfortunes of an amateur drama group who, during a routine rehearsal in a seaside theatre, find themselves locked in whilst a thunder storm rages outside. Amidst this gothic atmosphere the various conflicts in their relationships are exposed and this tension increases as one by one the actors meet sticky ends.

There is something decidedly fishy going on at the end of the pier! Who will be the last actor standing and what is their motive for the murders?

“It’s full of twists and turns,” said Alan Stockdill making his debut as a director with the company. “It has all the elements to keep the audience on the edge of their seats but with skilfully written comedy to diffuse the tension from time to time.”

Making their acting debuts at the theatre are Amanda Whitaker and Lucy Landale-Povey and they are joined by David Gunning, Justine Geraghty, Hannah Stow, Sharon Kelly, Chris Berry and John Sunderland .

“Curtain Up On Murder” runs from Monday October 6 till Saturday October 11 starting at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from Innovation Hebden Bridge or by telephoning 843907.
