'DEATH IN PARADISE' actor praises 'Pack of Lies' 2016 production. We were delighted to have professional actor Kris Marshall in the audience for our Friday night performance on 28th October 2016. Kris, best known for his roles in 'Death in Paradise', 'Love Actually' and 'My Family', helped draw the raffle and was full of praise saying: “Firstly may I say how much I enjoyed the production. It is humbling to a so-called professional actor to see the effort, time, and dedication involved in putting on engaging amateur theatre. The actors involved struck just the right chord of characterisation and mounting tension to do the play justice. Plus all of those responsible for creating and dressing the 'box' set on stage, both backstage and front of house helped to provide a fantastic and enthralling evening.” Click here to read more.
