Photo Flash: A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED Comes to Granite Theatre

"A Murder is Announced" by Leslie Darbon, adapted from Agatha Christie's novel is opening September 7 at the Granite Theatre. Producer/ Artistic Director for the theatre is David Jepson. The show runs September 7 - 30, 2018.

An announcement in the local paper states the time and place when a murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock's Victorian house. The victim is not one of the house's several occupants, but an unexpected and unknown visitor. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death, a determined Inspector grimly following the twists and turns, and Miss Marple on hand to provide the final solution at some risk to herself in a dramatic confrontation just before the final curtain. "Had the first night audience on the edge of their seats." - Evening Post

The cast features Michelle Mania (Charlestown, RI), Diana Blanda (Westerly, RI), Heather Carey (Norton, MA), Danielle Conti (Pawcatuck, CT), Paul DiSilvestro (Mystic, CT), Judy George (Westerly, RI), Michael Jepson (West Warwick, RI), Steph Rodger (No. Kingstown, RI), Tom Steenburg (Mystic, CT), Veronica Strickland (Waterford, CT) and Zack Turnquist (Saunderstown, RI).
