Newchurch Drama Group is inviting audiences to book tickets for ‘the craziest ferry crossing ever’. The group is staging the premiere of ‘Murder on the Midnight Ferry’ at the Newchurch Community Hall on Friday and Saturday evening (12th/13th April), and a Sunday matinee on 14th April. The drama group, which has been going for over 40 years, will be returning to Newchurch Community Hall for the 1st time in nearly 5 years. The group says laughter and bewilderment is on special offer, along with the cheapest ferry tickets for years, and lots of Island references. The play – a cross between a farce, a panto and a murder mystery – is by Island actor, Kevin Wilson, who writes under the pen name of Heaton Wilson. Kevin said:
“There are only 6 passengers, including a busybody called Mrs Marble and a hopeless detective, and it’s not long before we discover that the captain has been killed. Or has he? So, who did it, and are any of these people who they say they are?’
Newchurch Drama Group is drastically undercutting its competitors by charging only £7.50 to get on board. Kevin added:
“We hope Island ferry operators will forgive us for claiming that our ferry will be leaving on time. “So please book early so you don’t miss the boat.”
Those wishing to attend can book online with no extra fees at ticketsource.co.uk/newchurchdramagroup, or by calling 07562 050165.
I disagree with those of you stating that this is clearly an insurance job, I believe it’s more likely to be the work of youths.
Think you may have got the wrong story – not many youths around here in touch with the Great Rainmaker in the sky.
