An Agatha Christie classic is set to hit the Salterton Playhouse stage.

Salterton Drama Club will perform Murder on the Nile, taking audiences back to 1930s Egypt on the steam paddle cruiser, The Lotus.

A mix of seasoned and new members will portray the guests in a murder-filled voyage down the Nile.

The play, which deviates from the original Death on the Nile novel, notably does not feature Hercule Poirot.

More than half the tickets have already sold.

The show will run from December 2 to 6 at 7.30pm, concluding with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.

Tickets are priced at £14 and can be purchased at saltertondrama.co.uk or at Budleigh Information Centre (01395 445275).

Salterton Drama Club, known for its award-winning performances, promises another intriguing show for both mystery lovers and Christie fans.
