A comedy whodunnit with more twists than a Chuck Berry song!
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?
Expect surprises, slapstick and some risqué humour in this hilarious parody of an Agatha Christie country house murder mystery.
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/

Puck follows the familiar antics of our favourite fairies from William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream – with a modern twist that opens up the world of Shakespeare to new audiences!
Twenty years after the events of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, in a forest outside Athens, the King and Queen of the fairies are struggling to control their changeling prince. Desperate to explore the natural world, Anatole breaks away from his adopted parents; searching for the truth about love and to discover more about where he came from. When he crosses paths with some Athenian teens looking to meet fairies, he may have found his answer! But something dark has returned to that same forest, with a plan for revenge that threatens all of Elfhame…
