A Theatre Murder – When a famous actor is found dead just before the opening of his latest West End production, crime-solving priest Father Brown – invited by the leading actor to watch the dress rehearsal – sees at once in the shattered dressing room mirror that all is not as it seems. And if all the possible suspects were on stage at the time, watched by Father Brown, who could possibly be the murderer?!

John Lyons (hugely familiar to audiences from his 17 years as DS George Toolan, David Jason’s sidekick in A Touch of Frost) plays Father Brown.

John’s other TV appearances include Upstairs Downstairs, The Onedin Line, On the Buses, George and Mildred and The Sweeney.

 

Crime-solving Priest Father Brown DVD – BBC series starring Mark Williams (Harry Potter, Doctor Who) (not the show). 

 

Father Brown – The Murderer in the Mirror – with its colourful array of possible candidates for the hangman’s noose, and more twists and turns than Agatha Christie – is a more than worthy successor to Rumpus’ previous Father Brown whodunit …

Father Brown the crime solving priest is a fictional Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective who is featured in 53 short stories published between 1910 and 1936 written by English novelist G. K. Chesterton.

The crime-solving priest Father Brown using his intuition and keen understanding of human nature. Chesterton loosely based him on the Rt Rev. Msgr. John O’Connor (1870–1952), a parish priest in Bradford, who was involved in Chesterton’s conversion to Catholicism in 1922.

See the crime-solving priest Father Brown – The Murder In The Mirror, Tuesday 15 to Saturday 19 September at Blackpool Grand Theatre.
