Murder mysteries on screen and stage

As the evening air gets cooler and our minds turn more to indoor pursuits, it’s the perfect time for a SPAT movie night!

Our first film for the 2023 season is Knives Out (rated M), a 2019 American murder mystery film written, directed, and co-produced by Rian Johnson.  In the tradition of the best whodunnits, it’s got a starry cast of larger-than-life characters featuring Chris Evans, Toni Collette and Daniel Craig absolutely chewing up the scenery as master detective Benoit Blanc, investigating the death of the patriarch of a wealthy, dysfunctional family. 

Screening Saturday, 1 April at 7.30pm at the CWA Hall. Doors open at 7pm, pay at the door only (cash/card). BYO and tea/coffee available.

SPAT will be staging our very own whodunnit (…sort of!) after successfully casting The Farndale Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery Play. A comedy about a small community theatre group disastrously putting on a play, we can’t wait for this opportunity to make fun of ourselves! Rehearsals are underway with performances coming up at the end of May.

The SPAT Singers will perform their annual concert over two weekends 28, 29 July and 4, 5 August. Celebrating the group’s 40 anniversary, we will feature some of our favourite songs from the past as well as new pieces. This is a winter show and guests will enjoy a hot three-course sit-down dinner in the heated comfort of the CWA Hall before the music starts. We are happy to welcome new singers to come along for the ride, every Friday night at 7:30 at the hall.
