New Victory Players present The Mirror Crack'd. Adapted for the stage by Rachel Wagstaff.

In the sleepy village of St Mary Mead, the locals are both uneasy and curious. A new housing estate has been built causing concern, and the arrival of a glamorous American film star at The Manor House brings great excitement. 

Meanwhile Miss Jane Marple, confined to a chair after an accident, has to rely on friends to keep her up to date with the local goings-on. 

Then a murder. Can Miss Marple unravel the clues while coping with her own vulnerability. 

New Victory Players are thrilled to bring this Agatha Christie murder mystery to the stage. Hopefully this adaptation by Rachel Wagstaff of the original 1962 The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side, will get your inner sleuth searching for clues with the wonderful Miss Marple...

Exhibition: The Dutch Don’t Forget – The Cameronians in the British Liberation Army

 

Standing outside the entrance to Low Parks Museum is a simple, bronze memorial plaque on a polished granite plinth that bears the words “The Dutch Don’t Forget”. The plaque was presented to veterans of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, a Scottish, Territorial Army formation that played a vital part in the liberation of the Netherlands in the final stages of the Second World War. The message is simple, the Dutch will never forget the sacrifices made by the men of the 52nd (Lowland) Division in freeing them from Nazi oppression.

Two battalions of The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) proudly fought in the Dutch campaign in the Second World War. The 6th Battalion, historically covering the county of Lanarkshire, and the 7th Battalion, drawn mainly from the south side of the city of Glasgow.

This commemorative exhibition highlights the part played by these two battalions, as part of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, in this pivotal stage of the Second World War.

Free entry, open Tuesday to Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm.
