IT'S play season again at the Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage, and three tantalising thrillers are on offer during February.
The Late Edwina Black sets the ball rolling, with Stephen McGann, love rat Sean in Emmerdale, and Stephen Beckett, best known for his role as Dr Matt Ramsden in Coronation Street, leading the all-star cast.
Detective Martin from Scotland Yard arrives at invalid Edwina's funeral putting pot to her window, Gregory, and her 'companion', Elizabeth's plans to run away to Italy as lovers taking with them her fortune.
Then it's on to Dangerous Obsession which has enjoyed a successful West End run.
Sally Driscoll is watering the plants in her conservatory when a man, watching her through the glass, makes his presence known.
He is not a total stranger but maybe her husband has more reason to remember him.
