Following the smash-hit success of Murder in the Dark, Torben Betts returns with his brand new murder mystery comedy thriller Murder at Midnight… a night to die for…

A fabulous cast includes TV favourites Jason Durr (Heartbeat, Casualty), Susie Blake (Victoria Wood’s As Seen on TV, Coronation Street) and Max Bowden (EastEnders).

Murder at Midnight blends razor-sharp wit with chilling suspense and will keep you guessing until the final stroke of midnight.

Produced by the award-winning Original Theatre, who brought you the smash hit production of Birdsong, Murder in the Dark and Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d, Murder at Midnight is a gripping, roller-coaster ride of a thriller.

It’s New Year’s Eve in rural Kent, and Jonny “The Cyclops” has decided to throw a party.  But amidst the drinking, music and fireworks exploding overhead, a twisted trail of destruction emerges. As midnight looms, tarot cards foretell doom, police lights flash in the distance and a killer is in the house.

Everyone’s hiding something—but who’s telling the truth?
