HELLO IS THERE ANY BODY THERE

The Westville Theatre Club is to present Hello Is There Any Body There written by Ian Hornby.

All is dull and peaceful at Squire Grange. Lady Amelia searches for new ideas for her latest mystery novel as Sir Malcolm sleeps off the excesses of another idle day. Meanwhile, the hapless Vic Tim arrives and is promptly dispatched by an unknown assailant. The problem is how to get rid of Vic's body, because he has to come back in ACT II as a policeman! Smalls, the butler, and Mabel, the maid, try to assist the police (and Sir Malcolm attempts to give the delicious WPC Nunnall a hand, too) but not in time to prevent the Director being murdered. There is even a suspicion that someone may have poisoned the audience. Eventually Miss Marbles arrives to reveal, Agatha Christie-style, the culprit. This hilarious farce steadfastly refuses to take itself (or anything else) seriously.

Hello Is There Any Body There runs at the Westville Theatre Club from March 31 to April 2 and again the following weekend from April 7 to 9. Tickets R50, bring your own picnic basket with eats and drinks. Bookings on 031 764 2559.
