MURDER mystery will be bringing out Stretford’s amateur Poirots and Miss Marples this week.

The open-air ‘Murder on the Terrace’ production will take place at Longford Park on Wednesday July 20 at 7.30pm.

This original murder-mystery by David Kerby-Kendall will be an interactive play with references to Downton, Agatha Christie, part romp, part farce.

The scene is set – A respectable garden party to celebrate Lord Cava’s retirement and the handing over of his sparkling wine empire to his nephew, Charles Standen-Delliver.

It is no secret that Charles intends to shut down the business and convert Lord Cava’s Manor (The Cavary) into a conference centre. Unsurprisingly, Charles is later found dead, poisoned, clutching Percival – Lord Cava’s beloved pet parrot.

The garden party is thrown into disarray, the sardonic Inspector Back arrives to investigate and the twists and turns of a whodunit both puzzle and entertain alongside dangerous amounts of humour. Can you solve the mystery?

The running time is two and a half hours with a 20 minute interval. Suitable for eight years and over. All tickets £10 (under 5s free) available from the Longford Park Café, NewsLink at Stretford Metro, Chorlton Bookshop or online at longfordparkmott.eventbrite.co.uk.
