Write Me A Murder *2009*
by Frederick Knott

Director Ian Dickens | Designer Alan Miller-Bunford

Former EastEnders star, Leslie Grantham will be joined by Paul Opacic (Bad Girls), Helen Weir and Christopher Villiers (Emmerdale) in a thriller with a plot that thickens until every twist and turn leads to an intricate maze of clues. But who is double-crossing whom?

From the author of Dial M for Murder and Wait Until Dark comes the most ingenious of thrillers.

Rodingham Manor is the stately home of Clive and David Rodingham, two brothers who inherit the family fortunes upon the death of their father. A local business man, Charles Sturrock, anxious to involve David in property deals, encourages his strength as a writer to co-author a murder story with his own wife and would-be thriller writer, Julie. It isn't long before Julie and David, with what seems to be unintentional help from Sturrock, dream up the perfect crime. Sturrock's motives are less than certain, and when Clive sells Rodingham Manor to Sturrock and leaves for America and an heiress, the plot takes on a whole new dimension.
£9.50 to £20.00
