WORLD PREMIERE
After the rip-roaring success of MIDNIGHT MURDER AT HAMLINGTON HALL, the Middling Cove Players gather to decide what’s to be their next extravaganza.
Struggling for survival after many defections to a rival amateur dramatics group, they realise this show must be their most epic production yet. Company Director Shane knows the players are ready for a blockbuster, effects laden, Death on the Nile meets The Poseidon Adventure masterpiece: a murder mystery on a cruise ship that turns upside down. And with their reputation, what can possibly go wrong?
