Photo Coverage: M Opens in Manchester

Award-nominated Vertigo Theatre Productions are bringing their original 2009 play 'M' back to the stage in a brand new production with all new twists and turns in Manchester at the Three Minute Theatre from January 22. The company have also produced the original hit plays including Numb, Rage, cLOOless, the award nominated OUT and Christmas Sorority Massacre amongst others, the UK premiere productions of the Off Broadway hits Die, Mommie, Die, Dog Sees God and Psycho Beach Party and the world premiere stage adaptation of the BAFTA nominated film EXAM.

Money, greed, sex, manipulation, backstabbing and murder run riot in this original thriller. Imagine Hitchcock's twists with Cruel Intentions style and edge.

M tells the story of two siblings who, after their parents die, are left huge amounts of money and earn notoriety on the Manhattan social scene. One night an attack on one of the siblings at his home shakes up their friends, but at first what seems like a robbery gone wrong fast turns in to something far more sinister.

Twists and turns catapult through a play where nobody is who they seem and everybody has a price. The attractive world of these rich young adults is about to show it's darker side. Being bad has NEVER looked so good.

Embracing its trashy sexy roots, M proved a huge audience and critic favorite in its 2009 premiere, the ultimate guilty pleasure play is back!

Original cast members Adele Stanhope and Rick Carter are returning to roles that earned both of them rave reviews. They will be joined by Richard Allen, David Degiorgio, Ciara Tansey, Nathanial Hall and Mark Hill. The play is written and directed by the award nominated team Craig Hepworth and Adele Stanhope and produced by Vertigo Theatre Productions.
