Corpse! - coming to Park Theatre

Due at the Park Theatre from 4 to 28 March 2020, Gerald Moon's Corpse! gets a major revival with Clive Brill directing.

Best known for his role as Sam Carne in the BBC hit drama Poldark, Tom York makes his professional stage debut as Evelyn and Rupert in this 1984 lightning-speed comedy thriller.

A switchback rollercoaster ride of bluff, double-bluff and counter-double-bluff, Corpse! hurtles forwards and backwards through a macabre tale of misdirection, mistaken identity and murder.

Joining Mr York in Clive Brill's production are Paul Kemp (Wonderland - Nottingham Playhouse, Imperium and Wendy and Peter Pan - RSC) as Major Powell, Felicity Duncan (Stepping Out and Blythe Spirit - Frinton Summer Theatre, My Fair Lady - Mill at Sonning) as Mrs McGee and John Hastings (Small Island - National Theatre, King Lear - Chichester Festival Theatre, The Merchant of Venice - Shakespeare's Globe) as Hawkins.
