Death on the Ocean Wave17th March 2012
The Constitutional Club in Castle Cary will take on the role of an ocean going liner in March as Castle Cary and Ansford Carnival Committee hosts Murder to Measure performers in this tale of death on the high seas.
It is the maiden voyage of the Caribbean Queen, sailing from Bristol to the Caribbean via Florida for a month-long luxury cruise over the Autumn. The ship, built in Egypt, has had many teething problems, and a week into the journey, it is already behind schedule. In order to please the passengers, Captain Abel Stable has arranged a gala dinner, and promised that the ship will make up time. This doesn't please the crew, who are already working flat out, and only goes a small way towards assuaging the customer complaints.
Contact Sue or Gordon Stockman on (01963) 440472 for further details or to reserve tickets.
Midsummer Murder13th July 2012
Hornsbury Mill near Chard will host another of our popular murder mysteries this summer.
Detective Chief Inspector Tim Bargery has had a hard month. He is leading several investigations which are going nowhere, until he receives an anonymous tip-off that some key witnesses may be attending a local party. He secures a ticket and attempts to blend in with the assembled guests to advance his investigations. It soon becomes apparent that many of the guests are hiding secrets, and the evening turns into a desperate attempt to prevent the body count increasing further.
