A darkly comic tale is set to take the stage in Sheringham with a Victorian twist.
Oscar Wilde’s Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime will be performed by the Little Theatre Players at Sheringham Little Theatre from March 11 to 14.
The story follows a noble but naïve Lord who, after a palm reader predicts he must commit a murder before marrying his fiancée, embarks on a series of comically disastrous murder attempts.
The cast includes Torin Beattie as Lord Arthur, Anna Ryan as Sybil Merton, Rod Feichtinger as butler Baines, and Peter Blakeley as anarchist Herr Winkelkopf.
Other cast members include Robert Briggs as palmist Septimus R Podgers, Janet Hignett as Lady Clementina Beauchamp, and Steve Saunders as the Dean of Paddington.
Hazel Martin, director of the production, said: "The play stands the test of time thanks to Wilde’s clever writing.
"It is wonderful to see the cast bringing the script to life in rehearsals.
"It is a joy."
