The small cast of five actors have been rehearsing hard to bring this play alive and it really packs a punch, full of twists and turns to keeping you guessing right to the end, who did murder who!

Two new actors have joined SADS from the Budleigh Players, Penny Hill and Paul Turner.

Penny plays the lovely Sabrina and Paul is Inspector Drake, who has the task of getting to the bottom of the hilarious goings on.

John Nelson plays Dr Short, Katrina Horth is Miss Short and Jake Burlow, Sergeant Plod.

Audiences at the Manor will, of course, remember John, Katrina and Jake from Brassed Off, panto and A Chorus of Disapproval, to name but a few.

This great comedy opens at the Manor Pavilion Theatre on Wednesday, October 4, and runs until Saturday, October 7.

Tickets are available from the box office on 01395 514413.

Performances start at 8pm nightly with a matinee on the Saturday at 2.30pm.
