Fancy a part in Twenty Club's big anniversary production?

To mark its 80th anniversary year Llangollen Twenty Club - established 1946 - is aiming to stage a classic from that era as part of the celebrations. 

It has therefore organised two read-throughs of the potential scripts before making the final decision on exactly which play makes it to the stage as its November production.

The first of the read-throughs, which are open to anyone interested who can just turn up on the night, took place at the RAFA Club last week and was the Agatha Christie drama And Then There Were None.

The second reading is due to be held at the same venue on Tuesday May 26 at 7.30pm and is another Christie classic, Murder on the Nile. 

This timeless whodunnit takes place on board the paddle steamer Lotus where wealthy heiress Kay Ridgeway is honeymooning with Simon Mostyn - the man she “stole” from her best friend, Jacqueline de Severac. 

Jacqueline follows the couple, culminating in a public confrontation in which she shoots Simon in the leg.

When Kay is found murdered the following morning, Jacqueline and Simon appear to be ruled out due to their injuries and alibis. Canon Pennefather must investigate a boatload of suspects, each with hidden motives. 

This taut adaptation of Christie’s classic novel replaces Hercule Poirot with the Canon, focusing on a deadly conspiracy driven by obsessive love, greed, and calculated deception.

A club spokesperson said: "We’re also looking to recruit new members, whether as actors, or to assist behind the scenes with set building, costumes, stage management, or committee roles. Anyone interested in getting involved in any capacity would be very welcome."
