2025 ProductionS
The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race
SEASON: 24th October - 1st November 2025
Written by: Agatha Christie
By Arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical On Behalf of Samuel French A Concord Theatricals Company.
Directed by: Georgia Drewe
Clarissa, wife of diplomat Henry Hailsham-Brown, is adept at spinning tales of adventure but when a murder takes place in her drawing room, she finds live drama much harder to cope with. Desperate to dispose of the body before her husband arrives with an important politician, she enlists the help of her guests. Hilarity ensues when they are interrupted by the arrival of wry detective, Inspector Lord. Now Clarissa must keep the body hidden, convince the sceptical police inspector that there has been no murder, and, in the meantime, find out who has been murdered, why, and what the body is doing in her house...
What sets Spider’s Web apart from most specimens of its genre, is that its real motive is fun; all else – dropped clues, plot contrivances – is secondary.
Congratulations to the cast and production team on a wonderful way to conclude our 2025 season at The Zenith Theatre!

It’s the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer, Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews. Fortunes and reputations will rely on them.
Fun, fast-paced and full of fabulous characters – could Broadway really be like this?.
