Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th September 2011

It has been many years since the Players have tackled a thriller.    Generally people know of the writer Francis Durbridge who is of course the author of the acclaimed  "Paul Temple mysteries" but some will know of his plays including  "Deadly Nightcap" ," Sweet Revenge" and  "A touch of danger".   "Suddenly at home " was his first and was performed at the Theatre Royal Windsor in 1971.   With a cast of four men and four women the story revolves around a plan to kill a wealthy wife and implicate her former lover.  But does Glen's plan go the way he wishes?

Directed by Caroline Nobbs
