The Other Side of Murder

A Comedy Thriller by Torben Betts
Directed by Philip Franks

From the producers of the hit classics Murder at Midnight and Murder in the Dark, comes a wickedly entertaining new thriller: The Other Side of Murder with a star cast including Rufus Hound (One Man, Two Guv’nors, Wind in the Willows) and the return of national treasure Susie Blake (Victoria Wood, Coronation Street).

When 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.

 Book now – and ask yourself: what’s waiting on the other side?
