21 April – 8 May
Murder at the Vicarage
by Agatha Christie

One of Agatha Christie’s classic ‘who dun-it's. Nothing disturbs the peace of a bright summer’s day in a county vicarage but the tin cans strung up to scare the birds off the fruit bushes and the heated discussions over who will run which stall at the church fete. Not even a revolver shot is heard – but someone is dead.
