Well …. Luckily no, but Saddleworth Players start the second play of their current season at Millgate Arts Centre in Delph this weekend with Brian Clemens crime thriller ‘Strictly Murder’ playing until November 24th.

Clemens, the creator of The Avengers and The Professionals, has written an intricate, interesting and enigmatic story. Set in Provence just before World War Two, a young unmarried couple are living in a rural cottage frequently visited by a strangely disturbing, yet seemingly simple-minded man in ragged clothing who constantly carries a rifle.

There is little money, but they are happy enough with the wages from her work at a hotel and his paintings, mostly of poppies, sometimes sell to the tourists. Then along comes an English gentleman in a smart business suit who ‘just happens to be passing’ and before long we’re onto the first murder and the mystery of this nice young man who just might turn out to be a brutal murderer who killed both his wife and their unborn child.

Tickets can be booked at the box office on 01457 874644 or visiting the website at www.saddleworthplayers.org.uk.
