A Charles Paris Mystery - So Much Blood

Charles Paris takes his one-man show to the 1999 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, filling a vacant spot at a student venue which is a hot-bed of drama.

Most of it happens behind the scenes.

Until, that is, an imitation stage dagger murderously turns out to be a real one...

Bill Nighy stars as the celebrated actor-cum-amateur detective.

Written by Simon Brett.

Dramatised by Bert Coules.
