DENIS LILL HAS recently begun a national theatre tour in a Classic Thriller Company production of The Case of the Frightened Lady<\/em>. This latest production from the company is an adaptation of Edgar Wallace’s acclaimed murder mystery, and includes in its ensemble many of the same cast members that Lill has appeared with in previous touring productions by the Agatha Christie Company, including Witness for the Prosection<\/em>, Death on the Nile<\/em> and Then There Were None<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Inspector Tanner is called in to investigate a ruthless murder at Mark\u2019s Priory, the grand ancestral home of the Lebanon family, he quickly discovers that nothing is quite as it seems. The household is controlled by the family physician, the footmen behave more like guests than servants and the secretary Isla is afraid for her life. As Tanner moves closer to the heart of the mystery he uncovers a shocking and closely guarded secret\u2026<\/p>\n

Building on the phenomenal decade long success of The Agatha Christie Company, which sold over two million tickets around the UK, comes a new thrilling chapter. Following this year\u2019s acclaimed production of Ruth Rendell’s A Judgement in Stone, the Classic Thriller Company returns with a brand new adaption from the legendary \u201cKing of the detective thriller\u201d, EDGAR WALLACE \u2013 the brains behind one of the most iconic films of all time, KING KONG.<\/p>\n

Widely recognised as the most popular writer of the early 20th century, Edgar Wallace\u2019s gripping page-turners are regarded as the bedrock of the modern thriller and The Case of the Frightened Lady remains one of his most celebrated works. Adapted for film several times, this is your chance to catch this chilling, captivating and complex thriller live on stage\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The tour got off to an excellent start, with the opening run at The Theatre Royal in Windsow earning a rave review in the Slough Observer<\/em><\/a>. Performances across the ensemble cast all garnered praise, with Denis Lill “from long-running drama The Royal<\/em> and Only Fools and Horses<\/em>” described as “wonderful” in the role of Dr Amersham.<\/p>\n
