CENTENARY YEAR

A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie 5-8 June 2024 at 7.30pm (matinee 8th at 2.30pm)

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 several occupants, but an unexpected and unknown visitor. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death and a determined inspector grimly following the case’s twists and turns. Fortunately, Miss Marple is on hand to provide the solution – at some risk to herself – in a dramatic final confrontation.

Tickets £12 (opening night only £8) on sale soon from Dundee Box Office.

Centenary Year celebrations

2024 marks 100 years since the founding of Dundee Dramatic Society. Our centenary year shows will be:

Dads Army by David Croft and Jimmy Perry 4-7 September – A stage adaptation of the classic BBC TV comedy series of the Home Guard of Walmington-on-Sea who battle daily against the Germans and local ARP Warden Hodges.

*One Woman and her Bitch by William Lyons 1-2 November – A short play by Professor William Lyons, graduate of University of Dundee, and former Head of Philosophy Trinity College Dublin. This is a theatrical, challenging, and comic dish of Aristophanes, Brecht, and Panto. A homeless woman lives in a big city with her dog Cerberus. It has lots of wit and fun with some sharp political spice.

The Steamie (the play) by Tony Roper 27-30 November – (Play version) It’s Hogmanay and Dolly, Magrit, Doreen and Mrs Culfeathers, with a little help from the not-so-handy Andy, are in a Glasgow wash house getting the washing done before the bells.
