From the Guardian Series, first published Wednesday 30th Jul 2003.

GAWSWORTH Hall's open air season continues with a refreshing performance of Agatha Christie's A Murder Is Announced.

The play will be performed outside from Wednesday August 13 for four nights.

Guests are invited to bring a picnic, a cushion and put their thinking caps on as they sit back in the 1,000 seater covered auditorium. "Those who have visited before will have been aware of the lovely atmosphere which pervades the hall and gardens," said spokesman Timothy Richards.

Tickets for the play, which will be directed by Alan Clements, are priced £12.50 to £17.50.

But that's not all that's on offer.

On Friday the theatre stages Hold Tight, It's 60s Night! Hosted by Captain Midnight, the show is a rollercoaster ride through the very best of 60s music from the Beatles to the Beach Boys, from Cilla Black to Aretha Franklin, from Tom Jones to Elvis Presley.Then on Saturday Andy Prior and his Big Band return to Gawsworth Hall to perform the greatest jazz and swing numbers of Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller.

For those who loved Swedish group ABBA, there are two tribute evenings - on Friday August 8 and Saturday August 9. "Once again we have endeavoured to satisfy all tastes with a wide-ranging choice of productions offering great value for money," said Mr Richards.
