This hilarious farce follows the antics of the four redoubtable ladies of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild as they attempt to present 'Murder at Checkmate Manor'. This ambiguous and cunning Agatha Christie-style 1930's drawing room murder mystery requires them to play all 14 roles (aided by their stage manager, Gordon) with hysterical results. As well as performing the play, the ladies also present a Film and Fashion Show and a Murder Mystery Quiz complete with prize! If it can go wrong it probably will..... but surely it will be all right on the night??

What's Happening
News
Brighton Barn Theatre lost its long time President on May 2nd after a lengthy illness. Art Middleton, or J Arthur as he always liked to be listed in our programs, had been President for as long as most of us can remember.
For almost 20 years, in addition to his presidential duties, Art also produced plays, was our Technical Director, set designer, lighting designer and operator. We have always been blessed that Art and his construction team had our sets "ready to go" so that our casts could rehearse on them as quickly as possible.
Art was truly committed to our Brighton Barn Theatre, having moved from Cobourg to Brighton, just five minutes away from the theatre, when he became President.
Despite his illness, Art last designed the set and lighting for Norm Foster's "Jenny's House of Joy" which ran April - May this 2025 season and was a tremendous success.
His talents and dedication will surely be missed.
