All Saints Players prepare to stage new play The Murder Room
Actors from a West Bromwich theatre group will tread the boards for their latest production this month.
All Saints Players will stage its version of the play The Murder Room from May 22 to May 25.
The play takes a comic twist and has been described as a mixture of Agatha Christie, Monty Python and Abbott and Costello.
Tickets are on sale for the show being staged by the group which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
The play, written by Jack Sharkey, is based on the farce of a marriage between newlyweds Edgar and Mavis Hollister.
Two days after the wedding Edgar discovers that Mavis is being unfaithful.
After her first attempt to kill him by poisoning his cocoa fails, Mavis resorts to shooting him and then returning to her lover.
Yet chaos and complications reign when it transpires that the shots were blanks and Edgar’s body has vanished.
Group spokesman Ken Ford said: "Rehearsals are going well and the sound effects are great."
Shows will take place each night from 7.30pm at All Saints Church, in All Saints Way, West Bromwich.
All tickets are priced at £4.50.
For tickets please contact Kath on 0121 588 4786.

New members are also being sought for the group's production in November.
