WADS, Whitchurch’s community theatre group hosted a murder mystery evening in the grounds of Whitchurch Silk Mill to raise money to replace the floats on the historic waterwheel.
Set in 1943, the fictional grisly events in Careless Talk Costs Lives took place around the real life WWII presence of the Bank of England in Whitchurch when, with the removal of the Bank’s printing works to Messrs Portals in Laverstoke Mill, it was considered a good idea to relocate the Accountant’s Department to the grounds of Hurstbourne Priors.
This murder mystery, WADS’ fourth such entertainment, was greatly enhanced by the hundred-strong audience who really entered into the atmosphere of the evening, some even dressing in period costume.
