Banbury Cross Players take to the stage as they present Audience With Murder from Wednesday, November 21, to Saturday, November 24. It’s described as “a Russian doll of a play – intriguing, multi-layered, full of unexpected twists”, and begins in the living room of Alan and Sue where they are joined by Kelly and Dean to read a play that Sue has written. Alan, a chauvinistic boor, makes fun of the play and of his wife. The reading turns into an emotional free-for-all as he recognises himself being parodied in the script and his relationship with Kelly is revealed.
