A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED

The director announced in the programme that this would be somewhat different production, and casting a male as Miss Marple could fall into that category. My personal view is that there are enough talented females within this group for someone to produce an accomplished performance of the heroine and would love to understand the reasoning behind the casting. Certainly casting males in leading female roles is not usual; I have seen many cases where Madam Arcati (in Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit) has been performed by a male performer without any detriment to the success of the production.

Quince Players production of this show was smoothly presented and the director kept his promise by ensuring the comedy was maintained at the appropriate moments whilst keeping faithful to the plot and the characters. As always, the set and the performances were of a high standard that one comes to expect from this talented group.
