Upton Dramatic Society Newsletter Spring 2018
Death In High Heels
Based on the novel by Christianna Brand, this play is set amid the glamour of a 1930’s fashion house where secrets and lies are unearthed after the suspicious death of one of its employees. Inspector Charlesworth and Sergeant Wyler have a possible murder enquiry on their hands. As they strip away the veneer that the employees hide behind, they discover that more than one person may have harboured resentment towards the victim.
The play runs from Wednesday 21st to Saturday 24th March 2018, starting at 7.30pm each evening. Tickets are available either from our ticket Secretary, Christine Wilbraham, on 01244 382174; at Bache Post Office and at the door on the night.
We will again have the use of the very popular Bar, which will be manned by our friends from the Upton Village Hall committee. You will be able to buy drinks before the play and order them for the interval.
Our charity for this production is ‘LIVE!’ Based in Chester, they provide high quality activities for children and young people both with and without disabilities. The charity runs 11 different weekly club sessions and regular activity programmes during each school holiday. Our donation to this charity will consist of income received from the sale of the raffle tickets and donations given for the programmes during the week of the play.
The Dramatic Society’s calendar for 2018/19 season commences with our AGM on Thursday 17th May 2018 at the Village Hall, so if you are a current member please make a note in your diary!
