Murder, Margaret & Me - Salisbury Playhouse

Event: -
Murder, Margaret & Me is an Agatha Christie tale with a difference: this one is true. The stage show is based on the real-life story behind the making of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple films in the 1960s. This is a comedy-triller that draws on Agatha Christie's style with real-life inspiration. Murder Margaret & Me will be playing at the Salisbury Playhouse from Thursday 1st of February until Saturday 24th of February.
As the Mrs Marple films were entering production there was some conflict between two of Britain's favourite ladies: Agatha Christie who wrote the books and Margaret Rutherford who was set to play the famous detective. Christie was unhappy with the way Rutherford was set to play her darling spinster, and Rutherford was aghast at being part of a work that dealt with the grisly subject of murder. As it turns out, there was a mystery afoot, and the subject of Agatha Christie's thrilling tales would turn out to be not too dissimilar to Margaret Rutherford's past.
The play is written by Phillip Meeks and stars Kate Brown, Tina Gray and Sarah Parks.
