Leeds Arts Centre brings you a night of Crime Theatre in two Deciphering Different Detective plays.

Stake Out by Simon Brett OBE

Detective Sergeant Craig Downs is on his final stake-out before retirement to catch the serial ‘Kilburn Killer’. Ever the traditionalist, Downs is keen to tell new comer, Hayley Poulson, all about being a proper cop, however, she is also keen to show Downs an alternative approach. Will they see eye to eye, and can they work together to catch the Kilburn Killer before they strike again?

Death in Character by Stuart Arden

A comedic whodunnit. It’s Limelight Theatre Company’s last meeting in their beloved theatre. Chairman Richard, does his best to keep the meeting focused but all are more interested in poking fun at each other and reminiscing about their previous plays, favourite roles, costume and props and discussing what constitutes proper theatre!

Once the meeting has closed, the lights go out and two will never be in the limelight again. Will Detective Inspector Murray and Detective Constable Kelly solve the crime in time and will Limelight ever put on another pantomime?
