About This Event

There is a family gathering at Marlgate Manor, and the guest Barnaby Folcey has a motive to murder everyone there, so it is quite the twist when Barnaby is the one who winds up dead. Rick Abbot's script is a chaotic, laugh-out-loud whodunit parody of disappearing guests, poisoned sherry and hidden treasure. This is a Young People's Theatre production, staged by the company's younger members. Performances run at 7.30pm from 5 to 7 November 2026 at the theatre on Stephenson Road, Heaton.
