Tempo Theatre is pleased to announce auditions our next fantastic play! It’s an Agatha Christie thriller - Love from a Stranger - and will be Directed by Jon Elphick.
Cecily Harrington has led a staid and proper existence. After winning a large amount of money in a sweepstake she desperately yearns for a life of adventure. Enter Bruce Lovell, a handsome and charming stranger who sweeps her off her feet. In a whirlwind romance, she recklessly abandons her job, friends and fiancé to settle in the remote and blissful surroundings of a country cottage. However, her newfound “love from a stranger” is not what it seems.
