Ring in the New Year with a killer twist…

From the pen of acclaimed playwright Torben Betts and the award-winning team at Original Theatre (Birdsong, Murder in the Dark, Agatha Christie's The Mirror Crack’d) comes a brand-new thriller packed with wit, suspense, and unforgettable surprises.

Murder at Midnight stars familiar faces from stage and screen: Jason Durr (Heartbeat, Casualty), Susie Blake (Victoria Wood’s As Seen on TV, Coronation Street) and Max Bowden, best known as Ben Mitchell in EastEnders.

Set in rural Kent on New Year’s Eve, former boxer Jonny “The Cyclops” throws a raucous party to welcome in the new year. But as the drinks flow and fireworks light up the sky, a darker story begins to unfold. Tarot cards spell danger, police sirens wail in the distance, and someone at the party has murder on their mind.

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

With sharp dialogue, gripping twists and a chilling atmosphere, Murder at Midnight will keep you guessing until the clock strikes twelve.
