– The show – expensive, but you can stay all day checking out the vegetable sculpture, hundreds of enormous sheep, gorgeous alpacas, racing pigs and even guinea pigs. There’s also dog relays and obedience, quilts, free rockclimbing (mornings), monster trucks and freestyle motorcross, bareback showjumping, woodchopping and ponyrides.
– Ed Radclyffe exhibition at Canberra Museum and Gallery – Sunday onwards.
Ed is a local whose creations range from posters for Canberra Roller Derby to colouring sheets for Questacon – you’ve probably seen plenty of his art without even knowing it. He has also played in the Fuelers.
AGATHA CHRISTIE’S WORLD FAMOUS MISS MARPLE STARS IN A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED.
Following the huge success of The Mousetrap, Agatha Christie’s A Murder Is Announced, was the first of Christie’s works featuring the sensibly-heeled sleuth, Miss Marple to be dramatised. As she works tirelessly to solve the crime, it’s a night at the theatre that will have you guessing till the end. In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense within a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner…
In an English village, you turn over a stone and have no idea what will crawl out. The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn, including Miss Marple, are agog with curiosity over an advertisement in the local gazette which reads: ‘A murder is announced and will take place on Friday 13th October, at Little Paddocks at 6.30pm.’ A childish practical joke or a hoax?
Unable to resist the mysterious invitation, a crowd begins to gather at Little Paddocks when, at the appointed time, the lights go out, a gun is fired and a body falls…
Can you guess whodunit?
