Charity Theatre Night

Join Arts4Wokingham for a special charity gala performance of a play bound to have you sitting on the edge of your seats. In association with Wokingham Theatre, A4W is hosting a staging of Richard Harris’s ‘Dead Guilty’ in which a man’s heart attack at the wheel has far reaching consequences, throwing into doubt loyalties and exposing secret relationships.

SYNOPSIS: When John Haddrell dies of a heart attack at the wheel of his car, the woman at his side is not his wife Margaret, but his lover, Julia. Housebound and depressed, whilst recovering, Julia is visited by Margaret, who seemingly knows nothing about the affair. While a kindly counselor contends with Julia’s suicidal tendencies and a besotted handyman helps around the house, the excessively solicitous widow invades Julia’s life.

Left alone in the house together, Julia and Margaret are locked in deadly combat – suspense builds as the question becomes whether the affair Julia was enjoying with her now dead colleague will cost her her own life.
