A TROUPE of talented Inverclyde actors are hoping to make a killing with their spring production. 

Members of Kilmacolm Dramatic Society are getting ready to present Peter Gordon's play Murdered To Death at the Kidston Hall from April 25-27. 

The comedy 'whodunnit', set in a country manor house in the 1930s, follows Inspector Pratt's hunt for a cold-blooded murderer. 

Kevin Curran, who has been part of the society for eight years, says the show will be 'really interactive' for audiences. 

Kevin said: "We want people to have a great night out with their friends and get really engaged with the performance. 

"They're all going to have great fun figuring out who committed the crime and we hope they get really invested in it."

Murdered To Death marks Kevin's directorial debut with the company. 

He has assembled a cast of 10 - five men and five women - who have been enjoying rehearsals. 

Greenock Telegraph:
Kevin says taking on the role of director is very different to being one of the actors on stage. 

He added: "Making the move from acting to directing was very daunting at first. 

"I'm used to being on the stage and taking direction. 

"As a director, you need to have a totally different mindset and have to have a vision of what you want to whole production to look like. 

"Your job is to work with the actors to bring your vision to life.

"Rehearsals have been great and the cast are brilliant."

Greenock Telegraph:
Kevin said Murdered To Death is a bit of a departure from some of the society's recent productions, but he's sure that audiences will throw themselves into getting involved. 

He added: "It's a very balanced production and there isn't one main character who properly stands out. Everyone gets a chance on the stage. 

"It's a comedy production and there are a lot of jokes, and it will definitely get people thinking and hopefully talking about it afterwards."

Performances start at 7.30pm each night.
