Theatre preview: Rebus, Dalmatians, and Luke Evans

A dinner party in an Edinburgh mansion concludes with a murder mystery game created by the hostess.


A murder needs to be solved. But the guests have secrets of their own, threatened by the very game they are playing. And among them is Inspector John Rebus. True crime is his calling.


Is he playing an alternative game, one to which only he knows the rules? There are suspects, clues and danger with every twist and turn - and a shocking discovery will send this game called ‘Malice' hurtling towards a gasp-inducing conclusion.

 

Following the success of the critically acclaimed BBC television series, Ian Rankin’s much-loved detective Rebus returns to the stage in Rebus: A Game Called Malice, which visits Cardiff's New Theatre Monday 7 to Saturday 12 October.


Gray O’Brien plays the title role, with Abigail Thaw and Billy Hartman heading the supporting cast. You can find out more and book tickets here.


🎭 A new musical version of 101 Dalmatians visits the New Theatre Tuesday 15 to Saturday 19 October.


When fashionista Cruella de Vil plots to swipe all the Dalmatian puppies in town to create her fabulous new fur coat, there’s trouble ahead for Pongo and Perdi and their litter of adorable, tail-wagging young pups.


This classic canine caper is brought to life on stage with spectacular puppetry, show-stopping choreography, hilarious songs and irresistible puppies! Kym Marsh stars as Cruella. More info here.


🎭 You can join South Wales acting and singing star Luke Evans in conversation at the New Theatre on Tuesday 26 November.


Luke performed in London’s West End productions of Rent, Miss Saigon and Piaf before making his film debut in 2010. He has starred in the Fast and Furious franchise, J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, Dracula Untold, and The Alienist (earning an Emmy nomination).


As a recording artist, Luke has released two studio albums and won the 2023 BAFTA Cymru Entertainment award for his musical special which aired on BBC 2 entitled Luke Evans: Showtime!
