Billingshurst Dramatic Society: Back to Life: Murdered to Death

Back to Life: Murdered to Death

Billingshurst Dramatic Society is back this month with our first full length production in two years. Murdered to Death, written by Peter Gordon and directed by Will and Ted Gooda, was originally postponed during the first lockdown of 2020 and, as long as Omicron exits stage left, this hilarious whodunit will finally be performed on 17th-19th February at the Women’s Hall.

The hopelessly inept Inspector Pratt (Trevor Bishop) is sent to investigate a murder at Bagshot House. Miss Maple (Jane Brough) also gets involved in the sleuthing in this Agatha Christie spoof. Kathryn Attwood, Peter Burton, Denise Robinson, Barry Syder, Ralph Taubert and Ben Vallely all return to the stage, while Charlotte Mitchell makes her BDS debut among a cast of colourful characters.

We are so grateful for the support in the community to help get the society back on its feet. We managed a quiz night in August, the Late Summer Follies with JS2 in September, Last Orders –Murder in the Pub at the King’s Head in October and Grave Encounters, a Christmas storytelling evening in December. All raised precious funds during a

period when the global pandemic prevented us from putting on full-scale productions, but it’s great to be back doing what we love best. Now we just need an audience! You can buy tickets and sign up for news updates at our website www.billingshurstdramaticsociety.com and follow us on Facebook and Instagram. New members are always welcome, backstage or centre stage, and everyone is welcome at our social play readings, usually held once a month at the King’s Head. Ted Gooda
