Dead Guilty at Tabard Theatre

From the author and creative team behind the Tabard’s smash hit The Business of Murder comes Dead Guilty.

Julia, a graphic designer is badly injured in a car crash when her employer John Haddrell suffers a fatal heart attack at the wheel. Housebound and fragile in both mind and body, she cuts herself off from friends and colleagues and instead depends on the two people she has persuaded herself she can trust. But can she?

Dead Guilty is written by Richard Harris whose thriller/detective television credits include A Touch Of Frost, The Sweeney, The Avengers and The Last Detective. He has written such stage plays as Stepping Out and Outside Edge, both of which earned The Evening Standard Award. He also wrote the West End hit The Business of Murder which enjoyed a successful revival at the Tabard Theatre in 2024.

‘a gripping and thoroughly entertaining evening’
