A popular amateur dramatics group will be returning to the stage with a brand new show.

Loddon Players have been busy rehearsing for their latest production, Peter Gordon’s Death by Fatal Murder, with three shows lined up.

The play is the third in the Inspector Pratt trilogy of spoofs inspired by Agatha Christie’s whodunnit classics.

The first performance will take place at 7.30pm on Friday, July 6, with a further two shows on Saturday, July 7 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.

It will be held at the Lecture Hall, in George Lane, Loddon.

Tickets for the performance, which cost £7 for adults or £5 concessions, are available from Loddon Garden and Seed Centre in Bridge Street.

They can also be bought directly from the cast by emailing loddonplayers@mail.co.uk or calling 01508 521006 between 6pm and 10pm.

A spokesman added: “Book early and be assured of an entertaining evening with the welcome return of this popular group.”
