A new stage thriller by Torben Betts, from the writer of Murder at Midnight and Murder in the Dark, starring Rufus Hound and Susie Blake.
The Other Side of Murder runs at the Belgrade Theatre from Tuesday 16 to Saturday 20 March 2027, with evening performances at 7.30pm and matinees on Thursday and Saturday at 2.30pm. It's a brand-new stage thriller by Torben Betts, who wrote Murder at Midnight and Murder in the Dark, and it comes from the same team. The play is directed by Philip Franks and stars Rufus Hound, Susie Blake and Carla Mendonça.
The story centres on Darius Divine, the famous TV medium behind the light-entertainment show The Other Side. He plans a cosy family dinner that unravels when unexpected guests arrive and strange events unfold, packed with family secrets and a final twist. Critics have called Betts' previous work a 'chilling masterpiece' and this one 'darkly comic, stylish and with just the right amounts of farce, frights and drama'.
