Charlotte Players: How the Other Half Loves

The Charlotte Players will stage How the Other Half Loves by Alan Ayackbourn Feb. 9 – 26 at the Langdon Playhouse.
There are three couples in this play, the men all working for the same firm. One of the younger men is having an affair with the wife of the oldest, and when each returns home suspiciously late one night or early one morning they invent a story about having to spend some time smoothing domestic matters in the home of the third couple. Of course, the third couple have to show up to put the fat in the fire, but that complication only adds to the fun of this famous farce.
Murder On The Orient Express will be presented March 16 – April 2. Agatha Christie’s most popular play, Murder On The Orient Express, begins just after midnight when a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in it’s tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.
The Langdon Playhouse is located at 1182 Market Circle in Port Charlotte. For tickets and info, call 9410-255-1022 or visit www.charlotteplayers.org
