About the Play: An original Agatha Christie mystery! Clarissa, the wife of a Foreign Office diplomat, discovers a body in the drawing room of her home. With her husband scheduled to arrive at any moment with an important VIP in tow, Clarissa has to create an intricate web of alibis and invention to save her family. When her lies lead to new surprises the audience is left to untangle the puzzle. A captivating whodunnit.

Spider's Web was written as a play, not published as a book first. Christie obviously had fun including many of the classic mystery elements: an English country mansion with hidden doors and drawers, invisible writing, numerous murder motives, suspicious domestic staff, and a seemingly oblivious police inspector.

Founded as a not-for-profit organization in 1952, Lakewood Theatre Company is a semi-professional theatre dedicated to the study and presentation of drama in all its forms; the training and development of actors; and the creation, maintenance and operation of a theatre in which to present plays and other forms of entertainment.

It annually provides more than 700 theatre artists the opportunity to learn and display their craft and attracts more than 40,000 people to its shows.
