Synopsis
An amateur drama company is rehearsing in the theatre at the end of the pier. Storms rage overhead and the doors are locked - they are trapped! Then a mysterious, ghostly presence passes across the stage, and when the Assistant Stage Manager falls to certain death through a trapdoor, the remaining actors are thrown into disarray. Their panic increases when one of the actresses is poisoned and it becomes evident that a murderer is in their midst...

Costs vary from play to play but these are three of the main expenses before a ticket has been sold.
The total raffle money last November was £286 and benefited the Evening Post Cancer Appeal, the Church Millennium Window Appeal and the Hall Restoration Fund.
