Three Murders, A Suicide and a Near Miss - 6-8th December 2006

Written by Alison Chaplin,Three Murders is based on Shakespeare’s play, Othello, so gave our cast a bit of culture, set to modern music!  Tom Jones’ ‘Delilah’ was reworked to be ‘Desdemona’; and not may classics incorporate ‘I Predict A Riot’ by the Kaiser Chiefs!

Director, Richard Cox, was studying Creative Industries at Winchester University and had created links with The Globe Theatre, London.  The cast travelled there for a workshop with a member of the Shakespeare company and got to perform a bit of the show on the famous Globe Theatre stage, with rapturous applause from the visiting tourists!

The show was performed at Central Studio, Queen Mary’s College, Basingstoke.
