The Mirror Crack'd.

Agatha Christie’s THE MIRROR CRACK’D


A Miss Marple Mystery Adapted by Rachel Wagstaff


Dates: Sept 4th to October 31st


A picture-perfect village. A glittering party. A chilling murder.

When a glamorous film star returns to St. Mary Mead and throws an opulent gathering at Gossington Hall, the evening ends in sudden, shocking death. As gossip ripples through the close-knit community, one guest begins to see the sinister patterns others overlook ... the ever-watchful Miss Marple.

In a world of dazzling façades and hidden grudges, nothing is quite as it seems. As Miss Marple peels back layers of lies and long-held secrets, she uncovers a heart-stopping story of obsession, betrayal and revenge.


Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d, masterfully adapted by Rachel Wagstaff (The Da Vinci Code, The Girl On The Train, Death Comes To Pemberley), is a spellbinding, atmospheric thriller packed with sharp dialogue, unexpected twists and an unforgettable cast of characters.


Trust no one. Suspect everyone. And whatever you do, don’t miss this gripping new production!
