The Other Side of Murder comes to Blackpool Grand Theatre from Tuesday, October 20 to Saturday, October 24.
The co-production between Original Theatre and Theatr Clwyd, will embark on an extensive UK and Ireland tour from Autumn 2026 into Spring 2027.
The stellar line up also includes TV medium Darius Divine, Aisha Jawando from Hamilton the Musical, Andy McLeod from Murder at Midnight and Cosmic and Beth Lilly from The Play That Goes Wrong and Grantchester.
The Other Side of Murder is presented by the award-winning producers Original Theatre (Birdsong, ART, Being Mr Wickham) in association with Theatr Clwyd.
When celebrated TV medium Darius Divine, host of hit light-entertainment show The Other Side, plans a cosy family dinner, he expects awkward small talk. He doesn’t expect his pregnant lover, his Gilbert and Sullivan obsessed mother-in-law, or a night of ghostly visitations and explosive revelations.
As dinner burns and tensions rise, the line between performance and reality begins to shatter. Secrets surface. Jealousies ignite. And a final twist lands that no one will see coming.
