THE OTHER SIDE OF MURDERmstarring Rufus Hound and Susie Blake
Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne: Monday 5 – Saturday 10 October
A delightfully devious new production comes to the Devonshire Park Theatre this autumn as Rufus Hound (One Man, Two Guvnors, Wind in the Willows) and Susie Blake (Victoria Wood, Coronation Street) lead the cast in The Other Side of Murder from 5-10 October.
The producers of Torben Betts’ smash-hit plays Murder at Midnight and Murder in the Dark, return to the Devonshire Park Theatre with a wickedly entertaining new thriller which Eastbourne audiences are sure to love.
The cast also includes Carla Mendonça (Coronation Street, My Parents are Aliens and So Awkward), Aisha Jawando (Hamilton the Musical, Tina: The Musical), Beth Lilly (The Play That Goes Wrong, Grantchester) and Andy McLeod (Murder at Midnight, Cosmic). Completing the cast are understudies Maddy Banks, Oliver Byng and Sarah Lawn.
When the celebrated TV medium Darius Divine, host of hit light-entertainment show The Other Side, plans a cosy family dinner, he expects awkward small talk. He doesn’t expect his pregnant lover, his Gilbert and Sullivan obsessed mother-in-law, or a night of ghostly visitations and explosive revelations. As dinner burns and tensions rise, the line between performance and reality begins to shatter. Secrets surface. Jealousies ignite. And a final twist lands that no one will see coming.
Funny, shocking and deliciously unsettling, this is a wild theatrical ride that will have audiences laughing one minute and gasping the next.
The Other Side of Murder is presented by the award-winning producers Original Theatre (Birdsong, ART, Being Mr Wickham) in association with Theatr Clwyd. The creative team includes Director Philip Franks, Writer Torben Betts, Designer Colin Falconer, Lighting Designer Jason Taylor, Sound Designer and Composer Max Pappenheim and Casting Director Emma Sylvester.
Age guidance 14+.
