The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomens Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery is an off-the-wall comedy by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jr.
It is directed by Dale Jones. The show is another in the series, as the Farndale ladies make another attempt to put on a play.
The Farndale Murder Mystery takes place on a British housing estate where a group of determined, but not-too-accomplished amateur players struggle to perform their version of a typical murder mystery. They may be sincere, but they’re cursed with poor acting, an over-abundance of props, and sets that just won’t behave themselves.
This show runs the gamut from a botched opening to a cobbled-together ending when one of the players has to go home to look after an errant offspring.
Patrons can enjoy a pre-show dinner right at the theatre, catered by Qzine, of Hillsburgh on the first Friday of every play for $14.95. Dinners must book the dinner with theatre tickets.
Also, a bus will pick-up any groups of 20 to 45 that purchase tickets. Call 519-855-4586 for details.
The show is a Century Theatre Guild production and it runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and on Sundays at 2:30pm. The show runs March 27 to April 3 at the Century Church Theatre in Hillsburgh.
