THE autumn season gets under way at Salisbury Playhouse with psychological thriller Night Must Fall.

The touring production starts its run in the city on Tuesday (September 6).

It stars Niamh McGrady (BBC's The Fall) and Will Featherstone as Olivia and Dan alongside former Heartbeat star Gwen Taylor as Mrs Bramson, Daragh O’Malley as Inspector Belsize, along with Alasdair Buchan as Hubert, Anne Odeke as Nurse Libby, Mandi Symonds as Mrs Terence and Melissa Vaughan as Dora.

When charming, smooth-talking Dan arrives at old Mrs Bramson’s remote woodland home, he soon ingratiates his way into her life and that of her niece, Olivia.

But when a local woman goes missing and is later found murdered, Olivia begins to suspect her aunt’s new private assistant and resolves to find out the truth.

Emlyn Williams wrote Night Must Fall in 1935 and played the lead role in the first stage production.

Night Must Fall was the first production to be performed in the former Garrison Theatre on Fisherton Street in Salisbury, a predecessor of Salisbury Playhouse, starring Emlyn Williams himself.

Night Must Fall is suitable for those aged 12 years and over.

It runs until September 24.

Other theatrical offerings audiences can expect for the new season Footloose The Musical starring Gareth Gates and Maureen Nolan (September 27-October 1), Frankenstein (October 20-November 5) as well as Lady Chatterley's Lover in November.
