Spider's Web - a triumph of style and substance
Unlike other more straightforward “whodunnits,” Spider’s Web plays with the form. Yes, there is a dead body. Yes, there is a confession. But nothing is ever quite what it seems. And at the heart of this delightfully convoluted tale is Mrs Clarissa Hailsham-Brown, played with charm and verve by the magnetic Chloe Callow. Her performance anchors the entire production, capturing the character’s wit, eccentricity, and emotional depth in equal measure.
Visually, the production benefits from the Zenith Theatre’s intimate yet polished setting.
Agatha Christie’s script — her second most successful play after The Mousetrap is as mischievous as it is mysterious.
Pymble Players have once again delivered a production that is professional in quality and generous in spirit. For anyone who loves a classic mystery with a twist, this production is an absolute must.
