The Maddermarket Theatre and Norwich Players presents:

Agatha Christie's Afternoon at the Seaside, Directed by Steven Scase.

The scene is a refreshing seashore, on an afternoon in 1954. There are beach huts, sun, sandcastles and the perfect undercurrents for theft! This short play is a gentle comedy built on some fun, entertaining stock Agatha Christie characters, including a siren in a bikini, ogling men and envious women.

Afternoon at the Seaside was written as part of The Rule of Three series, and critics at the time of its original professional production compared it to a naughty post-card featuring the best, and the worst, of British at the Beach.

With its bright and breezy humour this mad-cap holiday romp is chock-full of intricate sleuthing and zestfully cheeky story-telling.
