The four ladies of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s<br />
Guild Dramatic Society are a force to be reckoned with. The sheer scale of<br />
their ambition in mounting “Murder at Checkmate Manor” is only matched<br />
by their overwhelming confidence in their abilities to master all fourteen<br />
parts.<br />
Even though Gordon, their stage manager, nobly steps into the breach at<br />
the last minute their production is blighted by a series of disasters.<br />
The play is set in the drawing room of Checkmate Manor. The family<br />
gathers for the reading of the will of the late Sir Reginald Bishop. However<br />
someone else has designs on the Checkmate millions and will stop at<br />
nothing to get them. A string of grisly murders ensues where everyone<br />
has a motive and everyone is a suspect in a classic whodunnit farce.<br />
The crunch comes in the denouement when the murderer is about to be<br />
revealed. Luckily Mrs Reece, doyenne of the group, can be relied upon to<br />
save the day with a final twist to the plot. Sit back, sympathise and enjoy!<br />
Why not enjoy a superb two course dinner ahead of visiting the theatre<br />
to watch Congleton Players in action at Bojangles Brasserie in central<br />
