A wicked contemporary thriller based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic mystery chiller.
Two women, one locked room, one bottle of poison
When Helen regains consciousness, she finds herself bound and blindfolded in a locked room.
Her captor, best friend Catherine, challenges her to a deadly game of Russian roulette to decide
which of them will win the handsome film star they both desire. But the game, like the room, is far
from what it seems.
Reviews:
"Twists and turns worthy of an Agatha Christie whodunnit - and a sinister labyrinth of betrayal and revenge that Sherlock Holmes himself would struggle to solve ... slick direction and excellent acting".
(Eastern Daily Press)
"Sarah Wynne Kordas, is remarkable as Catherine ... to reveal anything else would spoil the impact of the show which has more twists than a corkscrew. It's chilling, thrilling stuff that keeps you guessing right up until the end. Definitely one of the highlights of this year so far for me. The Nightmare Room is an outstanding piece of theatre"
