A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie
February 10
Skipton Little Theatre, Skipton
A mysterious newspaper announcement in the sleepy village of Chipping Cleghorn claims a murder will occur at Little Paddocks—drawing both curious neighbours and Miss Marple to the scene. When an intruder is killed during the staged event, Inspector Craddock and the unflappable Miss Marple work together to unravel a labyrinth of secrets, hidden identities, and motives, with Miss Marple's sharp intuition ultimately exposing the murderer and restoring order to the village.
Later Life Letter
March 26
The Trades Club, Hebden Bridge
Later Life Letter tells the story of Luke Wright’s adoption – the life he leads, and the one he might have done. What’s it like to stumble across your birth mother on Facebook? How do you honour the parents who have raised you while satisfying a curiosity about where you came from? Is it telling that you married a social worker?
Wright navigates his audience through a warm and honest hour of poems and stand-up with the wit, pathos, and silliness that has made him one of the most popular live poets in England.
A Fete Worse Than Death by Richard James

Ray Martin, a television actor famed for playing TV’s Inspector Brady, is invited to open the village fete and soon finds himself at the centre of a real-life mystery. The festivities turn deadly in the produce tent, with ambitions, infidelities, and petty rivalries (“marrow envyâ€) providing plenty of motives.

The River by Jez Butterworth (Drama)
June 16
Skipton Little Theatre, Skipton
In Jez Butterworth’s haunting drama The River, a solitary man invites a woman to a remote riverside cabin for a night of fishing, but as the evening unfolds, reality blurs—one woman vanishes, another takes her place, and patterns of love and longing repeat in mysterious cycles. Set against the isolation of the cabin and the lure of the river, this taut, poetic piece weaves intimacy, memory, and suspense into an enigmatic puzzle of connection and loss.
The Dingdong by Mark Shanahan (Comedy)
