31st May – 3rd June 2017
The Real Inspector Hound by Tom Stoppard
The plot follows two theatre critics named Moon and Birdboot who are watching a ludicrous setup of a country house murder mystery, in the style of a whodunit. By chance, they become involved in the action causing a series of events that parallel the play they are watching. It is a parody of the stereotypical parlor mystery in the style of Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap” as well as of the critics watching the play, with their personal desires and obsessions interwoven into their bombastic and pompous reviews.
Turning Point by Judy Barker
Two middle aged sisters who live together, decide to go for a quiet Sunday afternoon drive. They take a wrong turn at a crossroads and in doing so, think they see something they shouldn’t and are witness to a sinister event. After arriving back home, the worried sisters try to decide what to do, and whether or not they did witness something – or did they?
