AGATHA CHRISTIE'S "TOWARDS ZERO"
ENJOY THIS NAIL-BITING THRILLER WHILE SUPPORTING THE MUSEUM'S IMPORTANT ACCESS PROJECT
HAZLITT THEATRE, MAIDSTONE:
Tuesday April 21 – Saturday April 25, 2026 (7.3Opm April 21 - 24 , 3pm April 25)
MMF has once again been chosen by the highly regarded Willington Players to benefit from every ticket sold by the charity for their next production Towards Zero.
When a house party gathers on the terrace of Gull’s Nest, the seaside home of Lady Tressilian, Neville Strange finds himself caught between his old wife, Audrey and his new flame Kay. A nail-biting thriller, the play probes the psychology of jealousy in the shadow of a savage and brutal murder.
For every ticket you buy for £17, MMF receives £7.36. This will go towards a flexible Museum step system now installed but still needing funds.
The last play you generously supported, Strangers on a Train, raised more than £650 for this vital project, an essential improvement to the Lives in our Landscape gallery, opened in the summer of 2024 by actor Hugh Dennis. This and the new Oldham Gallery of local history opened last year are well worth a visit.
MMF Trustees invite you, your family, friends, and guests to enjoy another entertaining night at the theatre while supporting our museum. You can choose any performance to suit you.
MMF WILL ONLY BENEFIT IF YOU BUY THROUGH MMF – NOT THE THEATRE!
Dining note: By special arrangement with the Willington Players, Frederics Bistro, an MMF corporate supporter, offers a 2-course pre-theatre dinner for £15. This offer is only available by booking direct with the restaurant (01622 297414).
