Progress Theatre

Synopsis
Mark Styler, popular crime writer, arrives at Fairfields, the asylum sheltering the notorious serial-killing subject of his next book – Easterman. But before he can get to the object of his interest, he must first get through Dr. Farquhar, the institution’s head and pioneer of his own quirky methods of treatment. Under Farquhar’s interrogation, and with the furtive and anxious Nurse Plimpton distracting him, Styler finally meets Easterman – but not in the manner in which he expected.

Anthony Horowitz, creator of Foyle’s War and writer of the Stormbreaker novels and the recent Sherlock Holmes release, is at his diabolical best in this brutal psychological thriller, liberally sprinkled with dark humour and violence as it twists, turns and confounds to its startling conclusion.
