ALTRINCHAM Little Theatre's debutant director Lisa Barker said she's relishing the new challenge of directing a play.

Lisa, who has run ALT's wardrobe department for several years, said directing a play has been a long standing ambition of hers.

Audiences will be able to see the fruits of her labours when the society stages Nothing To Hide by Leslie Sands.

Lisa said: “I have wanted to direct a play for a while now but finally decided that if I was ever going to do it, now is the time. I am fortunate in having an excellent cast and this play is an exciting challenge for us all. At first glance it appears to be a traditional ‘will she get away with it?’ situation, but as the plot unfolds there are more and more twists and turns to the story and it becomes a very intriguing mystery.”

First performed in 1958, “Something to Hide” is one of many plays written by Leslie Sands, probably better known for his riotous seaside comedies and his script-writing for TV series such as Z Cars. This play deals with the consequences of a tragic accident – or was it? Karen Holt, wife of successful novelist Howard Holt, arrives unexpectedly late one night at their country home and inadvertently runs over and kills Howard’s mistress, Julie.
