Agatha Crusty and the Murder Mystery Dinner

From Thursday 3rd to Saturday 4th September The Third Age Players performed Agatha Crusty and the Murder Mystery Dinner at the Chrysalis Theatre in Camphill Milton Keynes.
This is what happened in the play -
Geoffrey and Caroline Robertson are having a dinner party to celebrate ten successful years of Mighty Midget Vacuum Cleaners, the company he jointly owns with Tim McArthur, and to add spice to the evening they decide to make it a murder mystery dinner. They are joined by a variety of employees and their partners. And Geoffrey has a special surprise – he has invited the well-known crime novelist Agatha Crusty (pronounced Croosty) to join them. She is in the area promoting her latest book and agrees to be guest of honour.
But on the evening of the dinner, their remote Victorian house finds itself in the centre of a storm so bad that the river floods and they are cut off. Worse, the power fails and in the darkness one of the guests is murdered. But since everybody else was together when the murder was committed, they are as perplexed as they are worried. And when another murder happens in the same way it is no laughing matter… except this is an Agatha Crusty murder mystery so there are laughs a-plenty. And also a genuine mystery that will keep an audience guessing as well as laughing.

Maintenance work in the Chrysalis Theatre

Here are some photographs of maintenance work being carried out in the Chrysalis Theatre in Camphill Milton Keynes during August. Work included cleaning, repairing the lights and also repairing the curtains.
The Chrysalis Theatre has a dual role: firstly, it provides a venue at the heart of Camphill MK for drama workshops with the residents, as well as for Community gatherings and meetings of all kinds. At the same time it provides an opportunity to invite the wider community into Camphill as hirer's and audiences. We hope in the future for it to grow as a centre for raising public awareness of adults with learning disabilities.
