At The Sign Of The Crippled Harlequin

Written by Norman Robbins

Directed by Elaine Payne

Dollar Drama Club's autumn 2026 production was "At The Sign Of The Crippled Harlequin" by Norman Robbins. It was performed in Dollar Academy's Studio Theatre on Thursday 22nd, Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th October 2026.
This full-length play is an engaging murder-mystery set in a guest house in the Peak District. Tragedy strikes when the occupants are trapped by snow and suspicions arise among the guests.
The plot kept the audience guessing until the end, with many trying to anticipate which way the action would turn, and which character was up to no good.
