THE NIGHTMARE ROOM (contemporary psychological thriller, from Arthur Conan Doyle)
THE NIGHTMARE ROOM is a sharp, sassy contemporary thriller based on a short story by Arthur Conan Doyle. It throws all the ingredients of Conan Doyle’s original 1920’s tale of poison and marital infidelity in the air to create an up-to-the-minute, deliciously dark thriller. 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 ... and are they alone in the room ... or is there someone watching! With twists and turns worthy of an Agatha Christie whodunnit – and enough games-playing and waspish exchanges to qualify as a female version of SLEUTH - THE NIGHTMARE ROOM weaves its way through a sinister labyrinth of marital infidelity and revenge that leads to an unexpected and horrific climax.
“A CHILLING thriller has set the stage alight this week, leaving an impact on the audience that will last long beyond the curtain closing ... a powerful performance that will leave you stunned ... well worth seeing” (Worthing Herald) “A dark chilling psychological melodrama ... the tension mounts throughout as the menacing plot unfolds building to its spine-chilling climax ... masterly” (remotegoat.co.uk) “this taut, cleverly crafted chiller ... edge-of-the-seat stuff throughout ... the shock ending to Act One is only a taster; the Act Two finale packs an even bigger punch ... masterly ... spooky ... first-rate” (Derbyshire Times) “What makes "The Nightmare Room" haunting is its consistent focus on the thin line separating the games we play from the truths they reveal” (Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee)
