The Wedding Reception - a murder mystery— 20/21 May 2022 in Headley Village Hall


The Poster – Cast

The village hall set up for the start of the show, looking towards the stage …

… and looking in the other direction.

The director (Rachel Spiller) surveys the bar!

Drinks are served to guests as they arrive …

…and in ther kitchen, the food is ready to be served
[L to R: Jane Fryer, Maggie Farnlucher, Alun Diamond-Urdiales, Sharon Worman, Rachel Spiller]

The bride (Kathryn Witts) arrives looking radiant …

… and circulates among the guests with her new husband (Rufus Kendall).

The groom's mother (Tina Wareham) and father (Jo Smith) – looking unreasonably happy considering what's to come!

They meet the bride's mother (Elizabeth Heggart)

The groom with the bridesmaids, played by Mel White and Karina Farnlucher.

The groom's mother asks the best man (Jonathan Neil) to get the wedding party their drinks …

… and meanwhile pays more attention than she should to the bride's father (Neil Hardinge)

After being thoroughly obnoxious to everyone, the groom's father finally gets his red wine …

… and makes a move towards the top table (on stage) …

… where the wedding party take their seats.

The groom's father carries on being obnoxious in his speech to the guests … and then collapses (not shown!)

A detective (Chris Millard) appears as by magic and declares the Groom's father has been murdered – there was poison in his red wine!

The suspects are interviewed, one by one … first the Bride …

… followed by the Groom's mother …

… the Bride's mother …

… the Bridesmaids …

… one of whom gets a Selfie with the detective …

… before being 'grilled' …

… then the Groom himself …

… and finally, the Bride's father [also, somewhere along the line, the Best Man – but our intrepid photographer missed him]

You want to know who dunnit? You'll have to bribe the Director to find out!!

… but it's all hugs and kisses at the end!
