Curtain Up On Murder

by Chris Baldock | May 3, 2022

In this thriller with a comic seam, an amateur drama company is rehearsing in the theatre at the end of the pier. Storms rage overhead, the sea seethes below and they find the doors locked- they are trapped! Then a mysterious presence passes across the stage, the Assistant Stage Manager falls to certain death through a trapdoor, and the remaining actors – seeing their number cut one by one – are thrown into disarray. Their panic reaches fever
pitch as the survivors fear the murderer is coming for them.
