LIZA Goddard and Robert Powell star in inventive thriller Murder by Misadventure at Coventry's Belgrade Theatre, writes Melina Cannon.
Despite their success as television thriller writers, Harold Kent is dissatisfied with his writing partner Paul Riggs and wants to dissolve their association.
But Riggs knows he would never survive as a writer without Harold and threatens blackmail if the partnership is ended.
Harold conspires with his wife Emma to kill Riggs using a plot from a projected script, Murder By Misadventure, as his inspiration.
Things go to plan until the arrival of the persistent and perceptive inspector Egan, who unleashes some nasty surprises for the Kents.
Murder By Misadventure, by Edward Taylor, runs from Monday until Saturday, October 27.
Performances are at 7.30pm Monday to Thursday and 8pm Friday and Saturday with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday.
Tickets cost £8-£17 from 024 7655 3055.
