*About the Play*
The theatre-loving ladies of Farndale Avenue want to put on a murder mystery play in the worst possible way. This they do, in fact, as sets, lines, actors and the very plot itself fall apart at every turn. Anyone who has ever suffered through a well-intentioned theatrical disaster will find plenty to laugh at – and sympathize with – as the Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen struggle valiantly onstage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Performance Dates (2016): January 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23
