Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall

SEASON: 31 July to 9 August 2026

Written by: Mark Kilmurry & Jamie Oxenbould

By arrangement with David Spicer Productions

Commissioned and first staged by the Ensemble Theatre

Directed by: Declan Moore

It’s murder, mystery and complete mayhem for the Middling Cove Players, a local community drama group.  Seven members of the cast come down with the dreaded lurgy just before opening night but, in true theatrical form, the show must go on. Yet, with only two actors, the director and a stage manager available to fill in the gaps, whatever can go wrong does. The stage is set for complete comedic chaos.
