A murder mystery like no other…

Starring national favourites Jason Durr (Heartbeat, Casualty) and Susie Blake (Victoria Wood’s as Seen on TV, Coronation Street)..

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.
