WRITTEN by Simon Brett, Murder in Play is a comedy thriller which will entertain with its wickedly clever mix of eccentric characters, complex plot twists and gentle humour.
The production stars Dean Gaffney, formerly Robbie Jackson in EastEnders and Gemma Bissix, the villainous Clare Devine in Hollyoaks, who are joined by David Callister and Richard Tate.
The dress rehearsal of Boris Smolenksy’s production, Murder at Priorswell Manor, is not going well. The actors are more interested in their egos than the play, the props seem to have a life of their own, and the director has personal problems. Suddenly fiction becomes reality when Boris’s wife Renee is murdered on stage.
Who is the murderer?
Was it Ginette, Boris’s pretty but not exactly clever mistress? Was it Renee’s acting rival and former TV soap star, Christa. Or was it Boris himself?
The play-within-a play device is guaranteed to keep audiences guessing and on the edge of their seats.
Murder in Play is at Malvern Theatres from May 28 to June 1. To book, call the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk
