Spider’s Web

SEASON: 4 July to 12 July 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.
