Synopsis: An announcement in the local paper states the time and place when a murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock's Victorian house. The victim is not one of the house's several occupants, but an unexpected and unknown visitor. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death and a determined inspector grimly following the case's twists and turns. Fortunately, Miss Marple is on hand to provide the solution – at some risk toherself – in a dramatic final confrontation.
Rehearsals will begin on August 17 and happen on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday evenings.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
