Disposing Of The Body 

by Hugh Whitemore

Directed by Clare Hall

Wednesday 5 October to Saturday 8 October at 8pm

‘All my life, I’ve either been looking back at happy times that have gone or looking forward to the happiness to come.’

So speaks Henry Preece, embarking on enforced early retirement in the Cotswolds with his wife, Angela. When life starts to fade into a summery drowsy twilight, things should be a little easier. However, the excitement of an unexpected passion is given full rein and Henry realises that the door he’s just flung open should have remained tightly shut. The mystery of Angela’s disappearance leads to the unravelling of Henry’s world and that of those around him.

Do come along and see the talented cast perform this excellent play.
