THE Monkton Players will be performing Agatha Crusty and the Village Hall Murders.

The play is a comedy by Derek Webb and is directed by Tim Hiscock.

Agatha Crusty (pronounced Croosty) is a crime novelist.

She’s also pretty adept at solving crimes. And when her sister-in-law Alice invites her to spend a few days with her in the village of Chortelby, it’s not long before she gets caught up in a series of murders.

There are plenty of suspects, and with an investigating officer as incompetent as D.I.

Twigg, there are plenty of laughs as the murders begin to pile up.

But, while packed full of wit and very funny scenes, this is also a genuine murder mystery with an ingenious plot which will tax the little grey cells of the audience at the same time.

The show takes place at West Monkton Village Hall on October 27, 28 and 29 at 8pm each night.

Tickets are available online at monktonplayers.co.uk or by calling 0333 666 3366.
