A THRILLER which guarantees suspense until the very end is coming to Bingley Little Theatre next month.

James Cawood’s Stone Cold Murder runs from October 22 to October 28 at 7.30pm.

The story follows newlyweds Robert and Olivia Chappell who have bought a small hotel in the English Lake District.

At the end of their first season they settle down with a drink in front of a warm fire. But their evening is interrupted by the arrival of a rugged hiker seeking shelter from the snow storm outside.

Unlike her husband, Olivia senses danger. Could the stranger have anything to do with her own dark past involving a stolen diamond and a dangerous ex-boyfriend looking for revenge?

Another male visitor soon appears and Olivia’s worst nightmare comes true.

A desperate fight for survival begins, shedding a very different light on all those involved while ratcheting up the suspense and drama.

Playwright James Cawood was born in Newcastle, and trained as an actor at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

His second play, Echoes of the Grain, was shortlisted for the International Playwriting Festival Award, and he is a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock and classic 70s horror movies which inspired him to write Stone Cold Murder.
