The mystery stars the famous fictional amateur sleuth Jane Marple and is adapted for the stage by Leslie Darbon. It’s the first ‘Miss Marple’ play the theatre has staged. Young widow Phillipa Haymes, played by Shelby Sparks, is Blacklock’s guest, while the sweet and inquisitive Miss Marple, played by Stephanie Liebert, is around as she’s staying at a nearby spa hotel for treatment. While Craddock asks direct questions and expects straight answers in return, Miss Marple uses her charm and seeming innocence to probe further into each suspect’s motives. This is a play with numerous and unexpected twists and turns and it will have audience members trying to stay two steps ahead as they attempt to keep up with the mercurial Miss Marple.
