A New Play. Another Murder. A Town Full of Secrets...
Synopsis:
It's a new theatrical season in Lower Lockwood, and the amateur thespians of the Fairway Players are starting rehearsals for their production of Agatha Christie's The Hollow. Despite troublesome new arrivals, countless petty squabbles and a gruesome accident with the lighting rig, surely this will be their greatest show to date?
But someone is hiding a devastating secret... and they won't make it to opening night. Could it be Sarah-Jane's sister, back in Lockwood after twenty years abroad? New member Lucas, whose shady business dealings may be his downfall? Or is it Issy, out of prison but still up to her old tricks?
Lawyers Charlotte and Femi must sift through the evidence to identify the victim and find out why the convicted murderer refuses to speak in their own defence... Will they uncover the truth in time? Will you?
ReviewAh,the return to the play! Once again Hallett takes us back to the small stage and am-dram: where long held emotional pain, produces domino effects in the current play. Once again by using this small arena, Hallett is able to get the maximum amount of emotions from her characters and provides a small closed room mystery. You can't help but read her play series of books (the Appeals) as homage to Agatha Christie, and if you look at them very carefully you will see where she may have drawn inspiration from Agatha's books and plays, for her characters. Her modern toyches (emails/texts), bring Agatha to the modern world, and you literal cannot put the book down, till you finish it! This latest episode of the appeal playbooks is one you'll be talking about for days! :
