Screams, surprises and lots of blood in this whodunit
 |
| Jamie Lomas and Tina Hobley as Michael and Ashley in Dead Simple. |
There were screams and lots of blood when a nightmare
scenario unfolded on-stage at MK Theatre last night. A stag do prank goes
horribly wrong in the adaptation of Peter James’ Dead Simple, with the main
character trapped underground in a coffin thanks to his friends.
It’s a riveting story, played out sometimes in complete
darkness, making the audience feel trapped along with him. Jamie
Lomas (Hollyoaks) plays Michael, the unlucky stag, while Tina Hobley (Holby City) plays his secretary and fiancé Ashley. Apart from a small trip up, they’re a fantastic team to
star in this dark comedy.
Josh Brown, in his first major role, plays Davy Wheeler, a
young man with learning disabilities. He was exceptional - expect to see more
of him.
It’s a wild ride with red herrings and twists to keep the
audience on the edge of their seats. There’s a couple of cheesy bits too, and a
few laughs, but overall this whodunit was a surprise. If you like a good old-fashioned
crime story with a unique detective (played by Gray O`Brien), don`t miss this
production.
Until Saturday.
