Murder at Midnight

A comedy thriller by Torben Betts

A murder mystery like no other…

Starring national favourites Jason Durr (Heartbeat, Casualty), Susie Blake (Victoria Wood’s As Seen on TV, Coronation Street) and Max Bowden (best known for his role as Ben Mitchell in EastEnders) and Katie McGlynn (Waterloo Road, Coronation Street, Hollyoaks).

A killer night out!

From the writer of Murder in the Dark comes a deliciously twisted crime caper like no other.

It’s New Year’s Eve in a quiet corner of Kent and a killer is in the house…

We meet Jonny ‘The Cyclops’ – the notorious gangster – his glamorous wife, his trigger-happy sidekick, his mum (who’s seeing things), her very jittery carer, plus a vicar who’s hiding something, and a nervous burglar dressed as a clown.

Throw in a suitcase full of cash, a stash of deadly weapons, and one infamous unsolved murder…What could possibly go wrong?

Join us for a murder mystery with a difference. One house. Seven suspects and a Murder at Midnight

Written by acclaimed playwright Torben Betts and produced by the award-winning Original Theatre (Birdsong, Murder in the Dark, The Mirror Crack’d), Murder at Midnight is a gripping murder mystery filled with twists, chilling suspense and wickedly dark humour – guaranteed to keep you guessing until the final stroke of midnight.

Cast also includes Callum Balmforth, Peter Moreton, Iryna Poplavska, Bella Farr and Andy McLeod.
