Spider's Web – Hugo Birch

19:45, Tue 18th – Sat 22nd November 2025 at ADC Theatre

"Supposing I were to come down one morning and find a dead body in the library... what should I do?"

Spider’s Web comes to life at the ADC Theatre as the Freshers’ Play for Week 6. Directed, produced, and performed entirely by first-year students, this production offers a fresh and energetic take on Agatha Christie's tangled tale of secrets, deception, and unexpected twists. Prepare for an evening of sharp wit, classic intrigue, and a dash of farcical chaos.

The play follows Clarissa Hailsham-Brown, the imaginative wife of a diplomat, who stumbles into a murder scene and decides to cover it up—only to find the situation slipping rapidly out of her control. Part mystery, part comedy, the play is a perfect showcase of Christie’s flair for suspense with a light-hearted twist.
