This is an amazing show with fabulous actors, an 18 strong Ensemble, Ballroom Dancing, Tango, Murder, Sawn Up Ladies in Trunks and all to be seen in the magnificent Paganini Ballroom at the Old Ship, Brighton's oldest public building.

In Lewes, 1934, Tony Mancini was acquitted of the murder of Violette Kaye. Forty years later, in 1976, he sensationally confessed to her murder in the News of the World. But there were two dead ladies found in trunks in Brighton in the summer of 1934. The second victim, known only as the Girl With Pretty Feet, was never identified, nor was her murderer.

Graham Greene, frequent visitor to Brighton, was fascinated by these gruesome crimes and added many of the details to the novel he was writing -Brighton Rock. Some even whisper that Greene himself was responsible for pregnant Pretty Feet's murder...........perhaps her name was Rose?
