Ein Mord wird angekündigt

In the organizer's words:

Crime play by Agatha Christie
Adapted for the stage by Leslie Darbon
German version by Ruth Mueller-Eisler

approx. 120 minutes, one intermission

"One-time announcement! On Friday, October 13, at 6:thirty p.m., a murder will take place in Chipping Cleghorn. Crime scene: Little Paddocks. - Friends and acquaintances are cordially invited."

The mysterious advertisement in the local paper sends the small, idyllic village into a frenzy. Residents and guests of Little Paddocks initially think it's a joke, but then curiously gather in the drawing room at the announced time. The mantel clock chimes, lights go out, shots are fired... and someone is lying dead on the floor - but not Letitia Blacklock, the lady of the house, who was apparently the target of the attack.

Inspector Craddock immediately begins to solve the tricky case. But the more he investigates, the more obscure the case becomes. Until he enlists the help of amateur detective Miss Marple, who is visiting the village and, in her astute way, scrutinizes all the suspects in Little Paddocks. In the process, she uncovers many a hidden secret and drives the real murderer more and more into a corner...

Nothing is as it seems in this famous Agatha Christie thriller full of surprising twists, funny moments and an ever-increasing threat - definitely a case for the legendary Miss Marple!

"A murder is announced", the original English title of the thriller, was published in 1950, entertained theater audiences in countless productions and has since been filmed three times.
