Students at West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds star in murder mystery Reality Cheque

A new murder mystery play inspired by Agatha Christie is set to hit a Suffolk stage.

Students from West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds will be performing in a new all-female production called Reality Cheque.

It was written by course director Erica Dupuy who says the show has more twists and turns than a ten-minute ride on a fairground waltzer.

She said: “I’ve always been a massive fan of Agatha Christie and the play is an homage to her.

“It is intense and will keep you guessing until the end.

“The audience will feel they are part of the production and it is full of intrigue.

“I don’t think people will have seen anything like this before.”

Tickets are being sold at £14 for adults, £10 for students and the show is suitable for everyone aged 14 and over.

It is being hosted at Conservatoire East which is part of West Suffolk College.

Musical theatre student Connie Dunne, 18, of Newmarket, said: “It is based on Agatha Christie’s novel ‘And Then There Were None’ and is set on an island.

“It has spooky elements and a bit of gore – this is Christie rewritten for a modern audience.”

Lexi Buck, 17, of Sudbury, is studying the level 3 acting course and is looking forward to being part of the show.

She added: “This will take the audience on an amazing adventure.”
