Our first rehearsed reading of 2020 went off with aplomb on Saturday 14 September. An evening of two short Agatha Christie’s, we were treated to mysteries involving train stations, mysterious phone calls from long-dead people, unfaithful husbands, and one particularly gory death live on screen!

Personal Call is the mysterious story about a wealthy man and his new wife, who start receiving untraceable calls from his first wife. The only problem is that she died several years ago…
Butter in a Lordly Dish tells the story of a famous lawyer who takes a trip to the countryside with his glamorous lover. What happens next is regarded as one of the most extreme murders in the Christie canon.
