From the same writing team as Chicago and Cabaret, Curtains tells the tale of Jessica Cranshaw, a leading lady and a triple threat: she can’t sing, dance or remember her lines! To the relief of everyone, she is murdered during her opening night curtain call, leaving the whole cast and crew as suspects. Enter Lt. Frank Cioffi, a police detective and amateur musical performer, to solve the crime, save the show and maybe even get the girl in the process! Packed with glorious tunes and an hilarious script, Curtains, performed by Oxted Musical Theatre Company is a fun-packed journey for both performers and audiences alike. Performances run from 16-19th November at 7.45pm with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm. Tickets are available from www.barntheatreoxted.co.uk or 07857 499667

Clarissa, second wife of diplomat Henry Hailsham-Brown, is adept at spinning tales of adventure for the bored diplomatic circle. When a murder takes place in her drawing room she finds live drama harder to cope with (particularly as she suspects the murderer may be her step-daughter, Pippa). Worse still, the victim is the man who broke up Henry’s first marriage. Desperate to dispose of the body before her husband arrives with an important politician, she enlists the help of her guests. Clarissa’s fast talking places her in some hair-raising experiences as she comes to learn the facts are more terrifying than fiction!
A conscious parody of the detective thriller, Christie delivers a unique blend of suspense and humour. Tension and laughter come equally in this intricate plot of murder, police, drug addicts, invisible ink, hidden doorways & secret drawers.
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie will be presented by The Oxted Players from 12 – 16 October at 7.30pm with a matinee at 2.30pm on Saturday 16. Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past that they are unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate, for each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins and one by one they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme. On alternate performances the production will incorporate both the original play ending from 1943 and the ending drawn from the novel in 1939 using entirely Agatha Christie’s own words. Tickets costing just £13.00 are available from www.barntheatreoxted.co.uk
