Dial M For Murder

By Frederick Knott

Directed by Don Cherrett

Can you ever get away with murder?

Well, maybe Tony Wendice, charismatic and manipulative, a former tennis pro who has given it all up for his wealthy wife, Sheila, can!

When he discovers she has been unfaithful, his mind turns to revenge and the pursuit of the 'perfect' crime.

But things do not go according to plan...

The play, set in the 1950s, was made into a famous 1954 film (of the same name) directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

One Day I'll Fly Away

Written by Janet Shaw

Directed by Len Reid

One young woman, one old lady. Their lives were poles apart but fate took a hand and threw them together. The only problem being they were more alike than anyone could begin to imagine. Both had battled adversities beyond comprehension.

When Kylie starts community service at the respite home she is thrown into the path of Nora, an embittered and hardened woman, who has spent her whole life teaching others and avoiding relationships of any kind.

Nora lost her husband and only child in a boating accident many years ago and Kylie is the victim of an alcoholic and drug-addled mother. Nora and Kylie start off their relationship with mutual comic sarcasm and dislike, but as the story unfolds it becomes clear that although in different ways, they are both walking down the same path self-destruction.
