This term, Spider’s Web comes to life at the ADC Theatre as the Freshers’ Play for Week 6. Directed, produced, and performed entirely by students new to the ADC, 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.
Written by Agatha Christie, Spider’s Web 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.
