’MYSTERY at Magpie Manor’ was this year’s junior Christmas play at St Nicholas’ School in Church Crookham, which was performed last Friday.

Set in the roaring 1920s and steeped in legend, Magpie Manor is in a great state of disrepair and Lord and Lady Pica must take drastic action. The whole family come up with a plan. However, things do not go too smoothly and there is a thief in the midst of it all!

“The girls have really risen to the challenge of this ‘tricky’ whodunit and perform, as usual, with great flair and confidence!” said Josie Downer, head of drama.
