And Midnight Never Come

Written by Val McDermid

Script-in-hand reading directed by Philip Howard

 


Queen of Crime, the iconic Val McDermid, is bringing her forensic gaze to bear on one of the theatre’s most enduring mysteries — the death of Christopher Marlowe in Deptford in 1593. A forbidden love story, a double-crossing spy story, or Shakespeare’s inspiration?

This special reading of McDermid’s playscript is directed by Philip Howard and is presented in partnership with the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
