Black comedy at its best.
Director Margaret Olive says , “I am thrilled to be directing this play because of the wonderful cast and crew that I have the pleasure of working with.To be directing a British comedy like Murder by the Book that connects me to my roots of Tommy Cooper and The Morecambe and Wise Show which I enjoyed watching with my father, is a privilege.
“We are setting it in the 80’s. I think this gives it a nostalgic feel that I hope will resonate with our audiences.Audiences will love Murder by the Book because of its unpredictable nature. I certainly did not pick the ending when I first read it.”
