Due to building work over the summer, the Theatre Royal Nottingham’s annual Colin McIntyre Classic Thriller Season goes on tour to other venues in the city.
In a show of city support, Nottingham Playhouse and the National Justice Museum (formerly the Galleries of Justice Museum) will be hosting the Theatre Royal Nottingham’s annual Colin McIntyre Classic Thriller Season in July 2017.
Phase 2 of the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall’s Royal Transformation Project will mean building work taking place at both venues during July, August and September. The Colin McIntyre Classic Thriller Season, a month-long repertory season which has returned to the Theatre Royal every summer since 1988, would have fallen within this period of work so two alternative venues have been found to house the popular annual murder mystery.
Tue 11 – Sat 15 July: NOTTINGHAM PLAYHOUSE
Dial M for Murder by Frederick Knott
Tony married Margot for her money and now plans to arrange the perfect murder. But when the would-be murderer becomes the murdered Tony switches track in order to frame his wife for the murder of the man who tried to kill her.
