Audiences for Twyford Drama’s new play The Mr Misty Mystery are being offered a sneak preview of what the mystery is all about.
The preview is promised in an intriguing video, put together by the group, which can be watched at their website. The video, inspired by the play’s story, has an atmospheric soundtrack.
The group are halfway through rehearsals for the play at Loddon Hall, Twyford on May 9, 10 and 11 at 8pm.
The cast explores what happens when two young women tire of their constant struggle with finances and landlords. In the play loyalties and friendships are tested and animosities exposed.
It is up to Abbey to pull together a team that can carry out her plan, transform their lives and exact revenge on their oppressor.
Her devious scheming is tempered by moments of comedy, fur coats, tissues and flip charts.
Director Jocelyn Robinson says the cast is enjoying the challenge of developing their characters and portraying deep emotions.
With creative lighting and clever use of props and set dressing, audiences will be transported into a rundown flat, which the girls rent from the very unpleasant Mr Bellingham, she adds. Music has been provided by Shawn Roney of Mo-Mutt Music in Missouri, in the United States.
The group is inviting more local people to become members and get involved both on stage and backstage to help continue nearly 60 years of local theatre in Twyford.
The aim is expand their programme of performances.
Visit the group’s website for tickets at £10 and £12 for the Mr Misty Mystery.
Ticket inquiries are by ringing 0118 328 2825. There will be a bar before the show and refreshments in the interval.
