Out of FocusA hilarious Ayckbourn-style comedy
There’s trouble when a church hall is more than double booked. Confusion reigns, when a Brownie meeting, clashes with a badminton match, a talk on steam locomotives and a pantomime rehearsal, until everyone unites behind the production of the pantomime. Alliances switch as opening night approaches. A couple’s marital bliss is strained by the presence of lusty Linda. Bossy Brownie leader, Helen, stages walk outs and pursues Policeman David, although he only has eyes for another. Wayne tries to impress anyone who’ll listen, while nerdy Leonard bores everybody into submission. Events finally culminate at the final night party, with some justly deserved but very funny consequences.

The Unexpected Guest by Agatha Christie
Lost in the fog on a lonely road, a stranger seeks refuge in a nearby house, only to find himself stumbling on to the scene of a murder.
When the dead man’s wife confesses to the murder of her despised husband, the stranger agrees to provide her with an alibi. But who is he really protecting? And in a house full of suspects, whose are the unidentified fingerprints found at the scene?
As the plot unfolds, clues are uncovered that open a Pandora’s Box of loves, hates, family secrets, suspicions, and intrigues. And in this seemingly open and shut case, nothing is what it appears to be.
