Not Dead Enough
Milton Keynes Theatre
30th January - 4th February 2017
Following the huge success of The Perfect Murder and Dead Simple, multi-million selling author Peter James brings his world premiere production of Not Dead Enough to Milton Keynes Theatre starring Shane Richie and Laura Whitmore.
Not Dead Enough is the third novel in the award winning Roy Grace series - James has been acclaimed as "one of the most fiendishly clever crime fiction plotters" (Daily Mail)
On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife, he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed...at least that's what he claims. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace continues to deal with the mysterious disappearance of his own wife, ten years earlier. When Grace starts to dig a little deeper into the chilling murder case, it soon becomes clear that love can be a dangerous thing.
This brilliant edge of your seat production opens with the sudden and violent death of Katie Bishop, socialite wife of wealthy Brighton Businessman, Brian Bishop.
Bishop (Stephen Billington) becomes the prime suspect but DS Grace (Shane Richie) slowly comes to the conclusion that he has performed the seemingly impossible feat of being in two places at once - could someone have stolen his identity or is he a very clever liar? Can DNA lie?
DS Grace digs deeper behind the facade of Bishops outwardly respectable life but it soon becomes clear it is not as it seems. As Grace delves into his life, he goes a little too far and suddenly the fragile stability of his own troubled world starts to shake as a reported sighting of his missing wife disrupts his budding relationship with pathology assistant Cleo Morey (Laura Whitmore)
Bishop has one crucial alibi, his lover Sophie Harrington (Gemma Atkins) who swears she was with him at the time of the murder of his wife...
The clever staging and lighting enhance this chilling story - Shane Richie plays the role to perfection, Whitmore was exceptional and a stand out performance by Stephen Billington makes Not Dead Enough an absolute must see!
Enjoy!
