Murder At The Vicarage

A murder mystery by Agatha Christie.

Performed by STADS at St. Teilo’s Church Hall, Bishopston in November 1983.

Synopsis

Everyone has a motive for wishing Colonel Protheroe dead. Amidst the heightening tension fostered by anonymous letters and bogus telephone calls moves the gentle figure of Miss Marple, whose old-maidish exterior conceals a very shrewd brain. She has the uncanny knack of knowing most people’s secrets and it is she who is ultimately responsible for solving the mystery.
