Murder at Millgate

The latest venture by the Robin Hood Theatre Company is a murder mystery evening.

On at Millgate Museum, Newark, a week today (Feb 19) at 7.30pm, it begins with a re-enactment of the events leading up to the murder and the deadly deed itself.

Directed by Jean Lebeter, the show focuses around the rich Sir Grasper Tightly, played by Mark Lebeter.

Also in the cast are Yvonne Cockayne as music hall artiste Miss Nettie Slack, Dawn Bond as shopkeeper Sally Slapp, Laura Talbot as talented Miss Poverty Stricken, Val Wilson as herbalist Ma Stricken, Keith Wilson as layabout Pa Stricken, Nick Timms as the Reverend Ever and Mary Timms as spinster Miss Tout.

Sir Grasper decides to hold a talent competition and asks Miss Slack to help him judge.

After some light entertainment the murder takes place but who has committed the crime?

After the murder the audience will be invited to partake in a buffet and glass of wine before being given a chance to question all the suspects.

Tickets, priced £9.50, are available from José King on 01636 706097.
