Tabs Productions return to The Haymarket with Richard Harris's psychological thriller – The Business of Murder. 

The time is 1981, and the cast - the detective, the playwright, and the man who's brought them together.

 Humourless and drab Stone invites Dee, a successful television playwright, over to his flat to discuss a script. However, to her surprise, the man with whom she is having an affair turns up for an entirely different reason.

 But nothing is as it seems and, as the plot twists and turns, the motive of their host gradually becomes clear. They are all, it would seem, in the same business… The Business of Murder.

 Richard Harris' thriller/detective television credits include A Touch Of Frost, The Sweeney, The Avengers and The Last Detective. He has written countless scripts for television and devised or co-devised such series as Shoestring and Man In A Suitcase. His television awards include The Writers’ Guild Award For Comedy, The British Television Award and the New York Gold Medal Award for his play Searching For Senor Duende. He has written such stage plays as Stepping Out and Outside Edge, both of which earned The Evening Standard Award.

 With surprising twists along the way, this gripping play keeps you guessing right up until the last moment. If you love a classic murder mystery, then you will thoroughly enjoy this psychological thriller.
