SynopsisThe scene, a winter’s evening in the present time. Every drama group has experienced the horrors of what can go wrong on the night, and the ladies of the FAHETGDS are no different; except that almost everything that could go wrong does. The scenery collapses, cues are missed and lines forgotten, as the ladies present their ambitious evening’s entertainment with the cunning whodunit ‘Murder at Checkmate Martyr’.

Producer’s Note
How good it is to be ‘back in business’ again after having had to cancel our last production three weeks before it was due to go on. We were so sorry to let our loyal supporters and patrons down and trust it will never happen again.
