Synopsis
The attractive, but not very admirable, Norma Brent is killed by using a hair-dryer that has been tampered with. Suspicion falls on every member of the cast. Could it be the husband - the marriage is running into trouble - or it might have been the nephew Ray - after all, he thinks Norma is with-holding his inheritance. Or was it just a terrible result of Sheila's clumsy accident? If you enjoy a good thriller, this will keep you guessing because there is no butler to blame this time!

From the President's Page June '05...
"What a great play with its twist at the end! It was fantastic to see a good drama performed and to see the actors really get into their characters. Lachlan seemed to enjoy his first stage kissing experience but needed steely resolve to cope with the face slap from Pat every night! As for Pat, I think she really revelled in that bitch role! I was stunned by Tania’s passionate portrayal of a betrayed woman. All the cast did a fantastic job with this play, a credit to Jean and Pat as directors, Robert on lights and everyone who helped on stage crew and set building."
