The story begins when the Mighty Midget Vacuum Cleaners decide to celebrate ten years of business with a special party. The business co-owner Geoffrey wants this to be a murder mystery event at his home for the management team and their partners. Renowned crime writer Agatha Crusty attends as a special guest, but when a real murder takes place the team have to solve the mystery themselves.

Audiences can expect the ridiculous in this clever madcap comedy by Derek Webb.

Director Jane Hogg said: “Ifield Barn is a real gem in which to stage this intimate and funny play, so do come along and banish those post-Christmas blues.”

Performances start at 8pm and tickets cost £12 (£10 for members or children). Doors open at 7.15pm.
