You won’t need to trek up to London’s theatres this month, as both Judgement in Stone and Rent are on stage in Tunbridge Wells.
A NEW production adapted from one of the most celebrated works of the writer often hailed as the successor to Agatha Christie, Ruth Rendell, is presented by Bill Kenwright at the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells this May.
Widely considered one of her greatest works, A Judgement in Stone is Rendell at her thrilling best. Eunice struggles to fit in and when she joins a wealthy family as their housekeeper, the long-hidden reason for her awkwardness leads inexorably to a terrible tale of murder in cold blood – on Valentine’s Day.
A brilliant plot unravels a lifetime of deceit, despair and cover-ups which, when revealed, brings a shocking revelation almost as grizzly as murder itself.
The star cast includes award-winning TV and stage favourite Andrew Lancell, best known to TV audiences for his portrayal of villainous businessman Frank Foster in Coronation Street and as DI Neil Manson in more than 300 episodes of The Bill.
