Geography Trip to Azores

After months of rehearsal, last week saw over 20 of the New House gentlemen treading the boards as they performed 'The Affairs at Meddler's Top' by Richard Coleman, a spoof murder-mystery. Set in the 1920s, Sir Hector Croquet is holding a tennis weekend at his country home. Among the invited guests are Baroness Svetlana Gorianova, theatrical producer Bouffant Éclair, fading tennis star Peregrine Barrington-Smythe, actress Trellis Trelawney, and the explorer Twitter Fortesque. There is a jewel thief at large in the area and Hector is concerned that Lady Davinia's emerald necklace may be the next target. A quick phone call ensures that Inspector Topiary and Sergeant Manners are on their way, but before they arrive, a murder occurs.
Their performance was full of puns, humour and fantastic costumes, with all involved throwing themselves into their characters and treating the audiences on both nights to a great deal of laughter as we finally found out who shot Blossom.
Many thanks to all involved, both on stage and behind the scenes.
