Join Moonstone Theatre Company to help them solve a mystery, whilst enjoying a fabulous afternoon tea experience, held in Stage Left. It is 1935. The Wilberforce family home in the little Devon village of Willingham on the eastern slopes of Dartmoor was resplendent in its Christmas garb. Lights twinkled on the Christmas Tree in the drawing room and the presents, carefully wrapped and labelled, lay underneath waiting for eager hands to open them and find the treasures within. Above the doorway between the hall and the drawing room mistletoe had been hung to catch the unwary. Such was the situation that fateful Christmas Eve but when the family came down on Christmas Morning a very different sight met their horrified gaze. Sir Alastair Wilberforce, a retired architect, was lying beneath the mistletoe with a dagger in his chest. Shocked, the butler, Henry Jarvis, called the police and Chief Inspector Charles Appleby arrived to lead the investigation. With no sign of a break in it must have been someone in the house or someone who had been let in by another member of the family but who and why? Chief Inspector Appleby gathers his suspects together and is determined to get to the truth before the afternoon is over.
