Hilary Bonner’s political thriller Dead Lies comes to Blackpool Grand May 17–21.
Inspired by the infamous Jeremy Thorpe scandal of the 1970s it’s set against the political backdrop of present-day Westminster during a fiercely-fought election campaign.
Peter George promises a new kind of politics beyond sleaze and spin. But a shocking secret lies in the past. As truths rise from the ashes, personal and political influences begin to shake the faith of those closest to him.
Dead Lies will star Hollyoaks and Holby City’s Jeremy Edwards as George, alongside stage and screen stars Alicia Charles, Portia Booroff and Claire Dyson with further casting to be announced.
It’s not recommended for under 16s due to themes of sex, drugs and murder.
