SPIDERS WEB

Does anyone know the cast for the next Agatha Christie Theatre company Production 'Spiders Web' due to start in January at Windsor..

The announcement says that you will never have seen it staged like this before so I was wondering what they could do with it? I dont mind theatre changes they do it to Shakespeare all the time, perhaps they will set it in America in a sky rise apartment with Stephanie Powers as Clarissa.

Thnx

Yes it was one of the better Christie productions , saying that they have all been pretty well done by the ACTC but I did find 'Then There Were None' a bit hard going ,

The UK Tour of Spiders Web is worth going to see if you can.

Cathy Shipton was fab playing miss peake too

I found these details for the UK 2009 tour of Spiders Web.-- Become entangled in a web of duplicity and murder… Following the Agatha Christie Theatre Company’s hugely successful productions of The Hollow, The Unexpected Guest and most recently And Then There Were None, the fourth instalment in the highly acclaimed series promises to be the most intriguing and entertaining yet. When Clarissa discovers a dead body in her drawing-room, she tries to dispose of it before her Foreign Office diplomat husband returns home with a government VIP in tow. Equipped with an overactive imagination, Clarissa finds real life murder a little too hard to handle! And having persuaded her house guests to help her, it soon becomes apparent that the dead man was not unknown to everyone amongst them. As the web of deceit starts to unravel, Clarissa pulls her friends into a desperate race to unveil the murderer and solve the mystery before the police discover the felony and arrest her as their prime suspect! Presented by the official Agatha Christie Theatre Company, the all-star cast features Denis Lill from The Royal, Survivors and Outside Edge; Melanie Gutteridge, best known for her role as PC Emma Keane in The Bill; Catherine Shipton, famous for her long-standing and highly acclaimed role as Duffy in the hit BBC hospital drama Casualty; Soldier Soldier star Ben Nealon; Bruce Montague, who is renowned for his role in Butterflies; and Mark Wynter who has delighted audiences with his all round talents from pop career to TV, film and stage.
