Octopus is an award winning, welcoming, supportive, inclusive and sociable drama group based in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire. Since 1971, we have been entertaining our town with a selection of Pantomime, Drama and Comedy productions.
Take a look at our next production starting 10th June 2026, Murder at the Margate Majestica, and our rich back catalogue of productions here.
MURDER AT THE MARGATE MAJESTICA
Octopus Drama Group are proud to present an original new murder mystery comedy that combines classic ‘Agatha Christie’ whodunnit sleuthing with traditional British farce. Written and directed by Paul Harrod, who joined our membership last year, and also co-directed by Pat Morrissey, ‘Murder at the Margate Majestica’ promises to be an amusing evening.
