Murder Out of Tune by Falkland L Cary

This play was a mystery-comedy produced by June Colquhoun on Friday 13 October 1961.  At this point we were still operating from the Wyong Youth Hall, but noises were already being made about the impending arrival of the new Memorial Hall.  It's interesting to note that there was only one performance given of this show.  It must have taken mountain-moving for a producer to get his or her show to run for TWO nights!

Doctor Waring is concerned about his daughter, Shelia. She is working for a wealthy stamp dealer and has fallen in love with him. The doctor has made enquiries about the dealer, Michael Rentour and now knows that he is a very dubious person. His daughter will not listen to him so Doctor Waring goes to see Rentour to ask him to sever his connections with his daughter.  He refuses and the doctor shoots him.  When the police investigate their suspicions fall on Shelia - she had not been truthful about her alibi.  The doctor confesses to the police that he had committed the crime - but they do not believe him.
