Cinderella, forced into a life of household chores by her wickedly cruel stepmother, dreams of a better life. She wishes to attend the royal ball at which the Prince intends to find a bride. When her stepsisters and stepmother go off to the ball, a Fairy Godmother appears and magically grants Cinderella’s wish. At the ball, Cinderella and the Prince instantly fall in love, but she abruptly excuses herself at midnight, leaving only a glass slipper on the palace steps.
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.
A collection of Aesop’s classic tales revamped for the modern era. Follow the Tortoise and Hare as they race for ultimate bragging rights. Watch as the Fox is constantly outsmarted by a bunch of beautiful Grapes. And see how a Mouse is able to repay the debt of a great Lion. This collection of seven modernized fables is filled with laughs and lessons for all ages!
From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes this smash hit farce. Welcome to opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the acci- dent-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
