Different
Stages continues its 2009–2010 Season with Agatha Christie’s
Spider’s Web, for four weeks at The VORTEX. Clarissa, the wife
of a Foreign Office Diplomat, is given to daydreaming, “Supposing
I were to come down one morning and find a dead body in the library?”
and actually discovers a body in the drawing room of her house. It
becomes necessary for Clarissa to dispose of the body before her husband
comes home with an important Foreign Politician. Clarissa persuades
her three houseguests to become accessories and accomplices. However,
it seems that the murdered man was not unknown to certain members
of the house party (but which ones?). The search for the murderer
and the motive begins, while also trying to persuade a police inspector
that there has been no murder at all...
