Spider's Web by Agatha Christie

About

Clarissa, wife of a diplomat, is given to daydreaming of adventure but she discovers a body in her drawing room, she finds live drama much harder to cope with. Desperate to dispose of the body before her husband arrives with an important politician, she persuades her three house guests to become accessories and accomplices. The dead man was known to certain members of the house party and mayhem ensues as they try to persuade wry detective Inspector Lord that there has been no murder at all..  

WTG presents Spider's Web by Agatha Christie - a conscious parody of the detective thriller, in which Christie delivers a unique blend of suspense and humour. There is tension and laughter in equal parts in an intricate plot of murder, police, drug addicts, invisible ink, hidden doorways and secret drawers.

Windsor Theatre Guild is Windsor's leading not-for-profit theatre company, staging three productions a year, along with drama skills workshops and play readings. Recent productions include The Good Life, The Lady in the Van, Alice, Antigone, an outdoor staging of The Merry Wives of Windsor and, in November, a sell-out run of A Christmas Carol.

Membership is open to everyone and we're all volunteers with a wide array of experiences and backgrounds. As well as roles for amateur actors, each play needs a team to take on or learn stage management, publicity, costuming, technical design and set building. There are always opportunities for anyone to get involved onstage, backstage, or front of house. We also offer drama skills training workshops. WTG runs regular social events including quizzes, parties, pub evenings and visits to shows. If you're looking for new activities and friends with an interest in the arts, you will be very welcome.
