A cast featuring Les Dennis, Claire Goose and Gray O’Brien, brings the darkly comic thriller The Perfect Murder, by international best-selling crime novelist Peter James, to Manchester Opera House from April 15-19.
It’s the first time the work of James—who has sold more than 15 million books of his Detective Roy Grace series and been published in 36 languages—has been adapted for the stage.
Victor Smiley and his wife Joan have been married for a long time. But Victor secretly loathes Joan and is getting attention elsewhere. And Joan is bored stiff by Victor, whose irritating ways are driving her mad.
