Starring Bill Nighy as the charmingly down-on-his-luck actor turned amateur sleuth.

When Charles Paris agrees to take part in an amateur theatre production, he expects missed cues and mediocre performances—not murder. But when a fellow cast member turns up dead, Charles finds himself drawn into a deadly mystery backstage.

Adapted from Simon Brett’s acclaimed novel and broadcast by the BBC, this radio drama is a delightful blend of dry wit, theatrical mischief, and a tightly-wound mystery. 🔊 A must-listen for fans of classic detective stories and British radio drama.
