Assisting him on the case is the intrepid Miss Marple, who must unravel a complex series of relationships and events to solve the mystery of the killer’s identity, resulting in a classic Agatha Christie puzzle involving mixed motives, concealed identities. Among the assorted suspects are several boarders at the house, neighbors, and relatives, with a detective inspector soon arriving to follow the situation's many twists and turns. Unable to resist, a group gathers at the house at the appointed time, but when the lights go out, a gun is fired, and suddenly, someone is dead. Some assume the announcement is a hoax others imagine that it’s an invitation to a fun party game. In A Murder Is Announced, the residents of the large English village of Chipping Cleghorn are astonished to read an advertisement in the local newspaper that a murder will take place this coming Friday at Little Paddocks: the Victorian home of Letitia Blacklock. Lauded by Broadway World as a production that “will delight fans of Christie's mysteries” and “keeps the audiences guessing as to who the murderer is right up until the very end,” author Leslie Darbon's Agatha Christie A Murder Is Announced enjoys a May 6 through 15 run at Moline's Playcrafters Barn Theatre, this tale of twists and turns, mistaken identities, and purposeful deceptions featuring one of Christie's most beloved characters in the figure of amateur sleuth Miss Jane Marple. Playcrafters Barn Theatre, 4950 35th Avenue, Moline IL
