⭐ ENTERTAINING MURDER – WORLD PREMIERE – CAST ANNOUNCEMENT ⭐
The cast for the world premiere of the murder mystery musical ENTERTAINING MURDER has been announced.
ENTERTAINING MURDER is a murder-mystery-musical, inspired by the true story of Edith Thompson and her young lover Freddy Bywaters. Their Old Bailey murder trial of 1922 became a cause célèbre. People queued for days to get tickets to see whether they were found innocent or guilty.
What did the jury decide? Did Edith really collude with her lover to kill her husband? How did Edith’s sixty-four love letters serve to condemn her in the eyes of the world?
Starring Daisy Snelson as Edith Thompson, Alex Cosgriff as Percy Thompson, Dominic Sullivan as Freddy Bywaters, Dora Gee as Young Avis and Sue Kelvin as Avis.
After successful sell-out public readings and workshop performances this is the premiere of the full production, including new songs and a retro 1920s design.
ENTERTAINING MURDER is directed by Chris Burgess, featuring choreography by Robbie O’Reilly, musical direction by Aaron Clingham, lighting design by
Richard Lambert. Presented by LAMBCO Productions.
ENTERTAINING MURDER has a book, music & lyrics by Chris Burgess.
ENTERTAINING MURDER will play Upstairs at the Gatehouse, London, running from 23rd April – 10th May 2026, with tickets on sale now.
Wonderful! ! !
