ARTWORK FOR KERRY AT HEXHAM[82] (1)

Join us for a unique evening of mystery and intrigue as we delve into the dark and sinister world of theatre tragedies.

Following the success of his book Death in The Theatre, author Chris Wood presents a gripping exploration that delves into the lesser-known stories of death and tragedy that have occurred in British theatres.

From grisly accidents, to murders most foul, this immersive evening will take you on a journey through the darker side of theatre - including many cases from some of our North East venues...

“A must-read for all lovers of the theatre, providing shocks and gasps of horror.”

Hugh Bonneville

John Nettles

“A meticulously researched series of events ranging from the eerily macabre to the tragically unforeseen. The result is ironically highly enjoyable.”

“A real treat for anyone who is either a fan of the theatre or untimely deaths. I loved it!”

Peter James 


“Takes 'dying for your art' to a whole new level.” 


Robson Green
