Miss Marple comes to Pateley Playhouse

One of the nation’s most beloved literary characters will be brought to life on the stage of Pateley Playhouse this November, as Miss Marple will lead a story of intrigue and suspicion in a staging of ‘A Murder is Announced’, one of Agatha Christie’s most famous tales.

The play has been adapted for the stage by Leslie Darbon and Pateley Bridge Dramatic Society have now started rehearsals in earnest with their customary skill in bringing stories to life.

This production will also mark the directorial debut on the Playhouse stage for PBDS’s exciting new American director, Cory Juras, who brings with him a wealth of experience and creative vision to the newly refurbished theatre, often regarded as one of the cultural jewels of Nidderdale.

The performances will be held in the Pateley Bridge Playhouse from Monday 6th to Saturday 11th November starting at 7.30pm, all tickets costing £10. Due to unprecedented demand since the reopening of the Playhouse, an extra performance for this production has been added as a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm. Tickets are on sale now and bookings will be from the website www.pateleyplayhouse.co.uk
