Current Production: Inspector Drake and the Perfekt Crime
Tickets are on sale now!
A comedy whodunnit with more twists than a Chuck Berry song!
Expect surprises, slapstick and some risqué humour in this hilarious parody of an Agatha Christie country house murder mystery.
When a genius commits a murder, the plan is perfect. But is it foolproof? Inspector Drake is facing his greatest-ever challenge. Who is the mysterious Doctor Short and why did he marry a warthog? Has he murdered his fourth wife – or did she murder him first? Who is the real Sabrina?
This amateur production of “Inspector Drake and the Perfekt Crime” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. https://www.concordtheatricals.co.uk/
Banbury Cross Players is now a member of NODA, the national body that represents amateur theatre. For more information, please visit their website at noda.org.uk.
