THE Original Theatre Company and Salisbury Playhouse in association with Eastbourne Theatres present Emlyn Williams’s psychological thriller, Night Must Fall, starring Gwen Taylor and Daragh O’Malley, at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, October 4 to Saturday, October 8.
When charming, smooth-talking Dan arrives at old Mrs Bramson’s remote woodland home, he soon ingratiates his way into her life and that of her niece, Olivia. But when a local woman goes missing and is later found murdered, Olivia begins to suspect her aunt’s new private assistant. She resolves to find out the truth.
Emlyn Williams wrote Night Must Fall in 1935 and played the lead role in the first stage production. The play was noted for its exploration of the killer’s complex psychological state, a step forward for its genre. Director Luke Sheppard said, “It's a privilege to direct this extraordinary play just over eighty years since the first performance. It’s a gripping murder mystery with delightfully dark characters. I'm looking forward to audiences discovering all the chills and thrills this rarely produced classic holds in store.”
Night Must Fall runs at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, October 4 to Saturday, October 8. To book, call the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk
