Event description

7:30pm and 2:30pm Saturday matinee.

The Halifax Thespians present Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d, adapted for the stage by Rachel Wagstaff.

In 1960s England, a wind of change is blowing through the land. It has even reached the sleepy village of St Mary Mead. There’s a new housing estate to make the villagers curious and fearful, and now the village has been thrown into a frenzy by the news that a glamorous American film star has bought the Manor House. Miss Jane Marple, confined to a chair after an accident, is wondering if life has passed her by. Then there is a vicious murder, and Miss Marple must unravel a web of lies, tragedy and danger.

“Daring… bursts into high-octane action and never stops.” – The Guardian

Performed at the Halifax Playhouse from Tuesday 23 to Saturday 27 September. Directed by Nick Turner.
