Murder at Midnight show artwork, featuring actors Jason Durr and Susie Blake. Jason is seated in a red chair looking intently at the viewer, and Susie stands beside him, looking pensive. Both are in a dimly lit room with vintage decor. A pair of legs is on the floor in the background ominously.

Murder at Midnight

A comedy thriller by Torben Betts

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).

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
