THE psychological thriller, Night Must Fall, is set to tour the UK, and Malvern Theatres is on the list for chills.

The play, described as a gripping murder mystery, will entertain local audiences from Tuesday October 4 to Saturday October 8.

The lead role will be played by Gwen Taylor, who has appeared on television as Barbara in the ITV sitcom by the same name; as Anne Foster in Coronation Street, and Peggy Armstrong in Heartbeat.

The thriller was originally a hit in the 1930s.

Director, Luke Sheppard said, “It's a privilege to direct this extraordinary play just over eighty years since the first performance. It’s a gripping murder mystery with delightfully dark characters.

"I'm looking forward to audiences around the country discovering all the chills and thrills this rarely produced classic holds in store.”

When charming, smooth-talking Dan arrives at old Mrs Bramson’s remote woodland home, he soon ingratiates his way into her life and that of her niece, Olivia.

But when a local woman goes missing and is later found murdered, Olivia begins to suspect her aunt’s new private assistant, and she resolves to find out the truth.
