FHODS are delighted to present Agatha Christie’s ‘A Murder is Announced’, for their first play of 2024.

An announcement in the local paper states the time and place of an imminent murder. When an unknown visitor to Miss Blacklock’s Victorian home dies under the prescribed circumstances, Miss Marple turns up to solve the case.

Set in a post-war Chipping Cleghorn, a quintessentially British Village, while rationing is ongoing and the threat of socialism looms.
