AUDITION – AGATHA CHRISTIE’S – TOWARDS ZERO
Where : METHODIST CHURCH HALL MUIZENBERG
When: Saturday 21st November 2009 at 2.30 pm
Before a murder is committed, events collude and juxtapose in such a fashion as to set up the scene of the crime; indeed, it is only a matter of time until the clock points towards zero and violent death occurs…
The story begins as Lady Tressilian, an old and humourless woman confined to her bed, invites several guests into her seaside home of Gull’s Point for the summer. However, handsome tennis star Nevile Strange, former ward of Lady Tressilian’s deceased husband, incurs her displeasure by re-uniting his new wife, Kay, and his ex, Audrey, under her roof, thus causing no end of romantic misunderstandings. But events soon take on a much less whimsical turn when Lady Tressilian is killed where she sleeps and Superintendent Battle, who is meant to be recuperating in the home of his nephew, Inspector James Leach, finds himself pawing his way along a labyrinthine maze of clues and deception…
