Murder Weekend is a comedy thriller written by Bettine Manktelow which will be performed by the society at Ombersley Memorial Hall from Thursday, May 14 to Saturday, May 16.

Livia, a romantic short story writer, and her husband Stan, arrive at a country hotel for a Murder Mystery weekend. They are joined by Patsy and her husband Ashley who have won the weekend in a competition, and Vi and Dorothy. Each receives an anonymous Murder Mystery game envelope.

Someone has let extra notes for Patsy and Stan exposing Livia’s and Ashley’s illicit affair.
