We’re excited to see that the promotional posters for the West End stage adaptation of Josephine Tey’s The Daughter of Time are appearing across multiple tube stations in London.

The 8-week limited run is at the Charing Cross Theatre until 13th September, adapted by M. Kilburg Reedy and directed by Jenny Eastop. The production follows Alan Grant in 1950s London as he is laid up in hospital investigating the alleged crimes of Richard III and the murder of the Princes in the Tower as a “cold case file.”  What begins as a distraction becomes an urgent mission, as Grant tangles with two scheming Shakespearean actors, a couple of opinionated nurses, his own sceptical deputy, and a lovesick young American historical researcher to solve his case.   And along the way, he might just solve the mystery of his own heart.

Based on Josephine Tey’s classic novel – ranked No. 1 in the British Crime Writers’ Association Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time – M. Kilburg Reedy’s new play swirls together history, myth, comic disasters and irresistible romance.
