CRIMES ON THE COAST Will Embark on UK Tour
A secluded island hotel just off the English coast becomes a crime scene after a scandal inducing femme-fatale is fatally felled. All the guests on the island are suspects, but is everything here quite what it seems?
Inspired by Agatha Christie, 39 Steps, and Noel Coward, welcome to another hilarious yet murderous trip to a classic English Riviera retreat. The show features the company's trademark of just four actors playing multiple outrageous characters, and a plot that races along in a romp.
Crimes on the Coast toured in 2018 as Crimes Under The Sun, playing to over 11,000 people across 13 weeks, including multiple sell out performances.
Directed by James Farrell, a freelance theatre director who has worked on the West-End, at the Chichester Festival Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company. James is the Artistic Director of Nameless Theatre and an Associate Practitioner at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Directing credits include: Pericles (Royal Shakespeare Company), Handlebards (National & International Tours), Animal Farm, Twelfth Night (Royal & Derngate), Mucky Kid (Theatre503), and The Sperm Monologues (E4 Udderbelly). He has associate directed on The 39 Steps (Criterion Theatre and National Tour) and Neville's Island (Chichester Festival Theatre / Duke of Yorks) and was staff director on Good Night Mister Tom (West End & National Tour).
