The Venture Theatre has also given a taster of the plot and says: "A young man's car breaks down one foggy night near a remote country house.

"Seeking help, he finds his way into the study via the French windows, only to discover the murdered body of its owner. It transpires that the not-so-dearly departed Richard Warwick was a sadistic bully, and there are many who might have wished him dead.

"All is not what it seems in this house full of secrets, and its residents have plenty of surprises in store for the unwary.

"Clues, motives, suspects, red herrings – can you help Michael Starkwedder to solve the mystery?

"This classic whodunit from the masterly pen of Agatha Christie is a sure-fire winter warmer, so book early to get a good seat."

The play will run from 30th September/1st & 2nd October - and 6th - 9th October.
