Play Season: Fatal Encounter

Tuesday 22nd - Saturday 26th September

 

Ian Dickens Productions Ltd. have become synonymous with the plays of one of the world’s most popular and prolific thriller writers Francis Durbridge.  Having presented three acclaimed tours to date, this stylish new of production will tour from September to November 2009 and then from January until April 2010 with an all star cast led by NICHOLAS BALL who shot to fame as the title role in Hazell and most recently appeared in EastEnders as the gangster Terry Bates.

 

Howard Mansfield is concerned for his wife Joanna, who has become unusually distressed and nervous. When he arrives home one day to find that Joanna has accidentally shot his former friend Perry during a struggle, he decides to protect her by confessing to the shooting himself.

Although the police accept that the shooting was an accident, Perry’s death leaves Howard caught up in a web of international blackmail, conspiracy and attempted murder.

Is the gallant Mark Adler who comes to Joanna’s rescue when her handbag is snatched all he seems? What is the involvement of the young Rex Winter? Is Perry’s ex-wife Grace involved? And why is M.P.’s wife Hilary so worried?

The answers to all these question provide enough twists and turns to keep the audience guessing until the final unexpected showdown.
