Two Of Us Productions’ Virtual Staged Readings of “The ABC Murders” and “August Heat” , Feb 26

Virtual Staged Reading of two chilling radio dramas from Suspense Theater: “The ABC Murders” and “August Heat”.

Virtual Staged Reading of two chilling radio dramas from Suspense Theater: “The ABC Murders” and “August Heat”. Presented by The Two Of Us Productions, the award winning theater company based in Columbia County NY, in collaboration with Friends Of The Copake Grange.

In “The ABC Murders” we meet Alexander Bonepart Cust, a remarkable character, created by England’s noted thriller author, Agatha Christie. A mild-mannered character whose initials were ABC. And ABC was stamped also upon the large railway timetable he always carried. But there was nothing so odd about that detail since no traveler in the British Isles would dream of planning a journey without consulting this famous railway schedule, the ABC.

In “August Heat” we are introduced to James Clarence Withencroft, who has been irresistibly driven to draw a picture of a criminal in the dock, immediately after the judge had pronounced sentence. The picture is remarkably detailed, but he does not know this man! Walking on a hot summer day, James suddenly comes face-to-face with the man in the picture!

This will be a zoom presentation, free for all, but registration is required to obtain the zoom link.

DATE/TIME: Saturday, February 26, 2022 / 7pm

COST: Free, donations gratefully accepted

REGISTRATION: Required for show link
