​

Robert Marlowe is a wealthy sharp-tongued politician with
an unconventional private life.

 

When a tryst goes horribly wrong, his bodyguard offers to
extricate Marlowe from the consequences - but things don’t
work out as he expects. A horrifying murder twists the plot in
ways an audience cannot possibly anticipate, as this noir-inspired drama hurtles towards the gates of hell.


Based on the successful stage thriller, DEADLOCK, which
starred the late Simon Ward, this is a daring adaptation for
the screen in which the theatricality of the original is
embraced - the claustrophobic atmosphere intensifying a
narrative which begins as black comedy but gradually
develops into an exploration of psychological terror.


The Palace Hotel, Grosvenor Casino and Pier View Self Catering Luxury Apartments have kindly sponsored our Opening Gala
