Worcester Operatic and Dramatic Society (WODS) are to present tonight A Very Merry Christmas Murder, a play written by one of their own members, Chris Holloway.

Somehow the festive spirit is combined with a murder mystery play in which the audience is challenged to discover the identity of the murderer.

In an old country hotel, the audience will witness the murder' of Mr Marsh, the owner, and an investigation ensues which quickly reveals that all the guests, his wife, and even the detective have some kind of motive.

Can the audience unravel the clues? Will the case be solved so that everyone can have A Very Merry Christmas?

Go along for an evening of entertainment at St Mary's Hall, Northfield Street, to put your own detective skills to the test, or just sit back and enjoy the show. A Very Merry Christmas Murder will be performed at the hall until Saturday, December 16.

For tickets, call Chris Holloway on 07877 810 587 or just go along on the night.
