Get ready for a fun night out

HIGHCLIFFE AMATEUR Theatrical Society (HATS) are working hard, rehearsing for their next production, “Agatha Crusty and the Village Hall Murders” by Derek Webb, with permission from Stage Scripts Ltd.

HATS’ Sue Withers said: “The production dates are getting nearer, and we are into the more detailed sessions - the atmosphere is changing to one of being more serious and trying really hard to remember our lines and actually say them in the right order. We often know each other’s lines, and then miraculously forget our own!”

The show’s director is Jo Murray. Sue said: “Jo is super organised and encouraging and is so excited and enthusiastic that it just rubs off on the whole cast. Hopefully, we will do her, our audience, and ourselves proud once again.

“However, humour is never far from our group, and our mistakes in rehearsals continue to be hilarious and result in laughter and more laughter. It's part of our belief that being part of our group is a fantastic way of enjoying a fabulous interest without feeling stupid, well not all the time anyway.” herrings everywhere. “Will you be able to spot them, or will you be drawn in by the devious lies and deceit?” said Sue.

“This is your chance to see if you would make it as a detective, to be asking yourself the right questions that might lead to you identifying the culprit. Set yourself this task, pit your wits against your friends and family, and see who has the skills to solve the Village Hall murders. Maybe none of you will solve it. However, the plot will reveal all in the end. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the show. Put the date in your diary,
