An evening of outdoor theatre with Shoemakers Museum’s historic Grange building as the backdrop.  Street Theatre performs Agatha Christie’s classic murder mystery ‘Towards Zero’.

Imagine, 1930’s England. When a house party gathers on the terrace of Gull’s Nest, the Devon clifftop home of Neville’s aunt, Lady Tressilian, British tennis player Neville Strange finds himself caught between his new wife Kay and ex wife  Audrey. There is unfinished business between them and tensions are running high. Add to this a long-suffering lady’s companion, a cousin with a grudge, a mysterious stranger, and soon there will be murder. Can Inspector Leach solve the crime before another victim meets their death?  A tense and absorbing thriller from the queen of crime Agatha Christie.
