Murders, bizarre accidents, suicides, laughing yourself to death – An incredible array of real life deaths have all occurred in British theatres.
On Friday 22 November 2024, some of these will be brought to ‘life’ at the Dumfries Theatre Royal – which itself was the venue for one of the most sensational of such deaths.
Author Chris Wood has collated a host of lesser known cases where people have met their demise within British theatres. Drawing acclaim from esteemed actors, writers and directors such as Hugh Bonneville, John Nettles, Peter James and Sir Alan Ayckbourn, the natural progression for the book was to come to the stage.
Join us for an unforgettably unique evening of morbidity, where real life proves to be more dramatic than anything presented on the stage. If dark and grisly things captivate you, this is the show for you. Tickets are priced at just £8 and there will be an opportunity to buy signed copies of ‘Death in the Theatre’ at a much discounted price for audience members!
“I felt like I was hearing stories from someone who was really there. Chris’ passion shines
through, bringing together incredible tales of drama.” Wakefield Theatre Royal
