ABOUT THE SHOW
An announcement in the local paper states the time and place when a murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock’s Victorian house. The victim is not one of the house’s occupants, but an unexpected and unknown visitor. What follows is a classic Agatha Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a determined Inspector, and the famous Miss Marple on hand to provide the final solution at some risk to herself in a dramatic confrontation just before the final curtain.
