[0:10] play is called a murder is announced and

[0:13] it's based on Agatha Christie story in

[0:15] this we have such a great cast of people

[0:17] that pull these characters to life and

[0:20] they all become intertwined in this

[0:22] mystery that they have to figure out who

[0:24] done it Miss Blacklock owns the home

[0:26] where the action takes place and she has

[0:29] several borders when the announcement

[0:31] comes out in the newspaper that a murder

[0:33] is going to happen it states that it's

[0:35] going to happen in her home that evening

[0:38] it's so fun to do a murder mystery

[0:41] Agatha Christie was terrific at drawing

[0:43] different kinds of characters kind of

[0:45] archetypes but you've got all these

[0:47] different kinds of people

[0:50] interacting and of course you're not

[0:52] sure who the murderer is or if there

[0:54] even is a murderer but every single one

[0:57] of the characters has a good reason to

[0:59] kill somebody else the announcement in

[1:01] The Gazette what does it mean you have

[1:04] seen that miss marel is a character that

[1:07] shows up in a couple of eath Christi's

[1:10] books but specifically in a murder's

[1:12] announce she is a friend of bunny and

[1:15] Miss Blacklock and comes over to drop

[1:17] off some beautiful violets for bunny a

[1:20] lot of people are probably familiar with

[1:21] her she's a classic Agatha chrisy

[1:24] character she is an older lady who loves

[1:28] to solve crime and she's really good at

[1:31] it she gets invited to this party that's

[1:33] going to happen at 6:30 and she shows up

[1:35] to what seems like a mystery she can't

[1:38] help herself and she has to investigate

[1:41] with Miss marel she always shows up

[1:43] unexpectedly you know if you ever

[1:45] watched murders she wrote it's a lot

[1:48] like that Jessica Fletcher has a lot of

[1:50] people who get murdered in her life so

[1:53] does miss marle our cast of characters

[1:55] has some really big personalities and we

[1:57] find out information about all of them

[1:59] along the way so you never know who's

[2:02] hiding a secret it's called to be a mad

[2:04] man or a mad woman I think Agatha

[2:07] Christie Mysteries still resonate with

[2:09] modern audiences because everybody

[2:12] fancies themselves a detective a little

[2:15] bit and everybody likes to guess uh

[2:18] guess the end and usually in Agatha

[2:20] Christie you can't until she reveals it

[2:23] all she understood human nature she also

[2:26] had a pretty interesting life herself

[2:29] but there was a the point where she

[2:30] actually went missing herself and was

[2:33] like oh my gosh what's happened to

[2:34] Agatha Christie and really she just

[2:36] snuck away I think to write a book or

[2:38] escape a husband something we have a

[2:40] tremendous cast lots of people who are

[2:44] you know all Community people here in
