Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall ... Irreverent Comedy

This wonderful comedy, presented by Pymble Players, is about the Middling Cove Players preparing for the opening night of Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall, a play written by Shane, one of their members. His play is a parody of the classic Christie formula. There’s an isolated English manor house, an eccentric group of suspects, the reading of the old man’s Will and several murders.

This hilarious play was written by Mark Kilmurry (Artistic Director of the Ensemble Theatre) and actor Jamie Oxenbould. It premiered at the Ensemble Theatre in January 2024. This Zenith production is a fine example of artistic cooperation. The playwrights, David Spicer Productions, The Ensemble and the Pymble Players cooperated to give us a fast-paced theatrical farce, play-within-a-play murder mystery.

This show is a marvellous example of community theatre.

The show plays until 9th August 2026.
