By Ken Duncum directed by Meg Cooksley. Trick of the Light is both a quirky and a haunting story which is loosely based around a detective sent to discretely investigate the first police investigation of the Crewe murders. It's a promotion for him. He takes his wife with him. She realises the significance of the area and whilst her husband is out on the job, forms her own opinion of what happened.
30 years on, their two children are back at the motel the parents stayed at, at the mother's request, with her ashes for one last night. It was her dying wish.
But why? Is there a key here to past secrets? The play is not about the murders, but rather about the intersecting of relationships: two generations, and the long shadow of a famous murder case. Ken Duncum’s Trick of the Light is a powerful modern drama linking two stories in the same motel three decades apart.
