This year, WADS has been concentrating on murder. By the end of February, the company had put on Simon Brett's Murder in Play - which features a play within a play - as well as a reprise of 2023's murder mystery, set during the launch of Max and Molly Burdock’s new TV channel MBC.
Murder in Play was performed not just in Whitchurch but also to a sell-out audience in Longparish.
WADS then followed up its murderous start to the year with more bloodshed in July, when it staged Macbeth outside at Bere Mill.
"Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep.'"
