Jessie and Shane who play Kat and Alfie in EastEnders are set to take to the stage in the production of The perfect murder.
The perfect murder is a revival of last years adaptation by best selling author Peter James' work. The pair will play husband and wife Victor and Joan Smiley. Their marriage reaches a point where Victor wants Joan out of his life forever but he’s about to get a nasty surprise. As a young Detective Roy Grace starts to investigate his very first homicide case, dark forces intervene and he begins to fear that nothing is quite as it seems quite as it seems.
“It has always been my dream that one day the curtains would rise in a theatre and a play of my work would be performed. That dream came true in 2014 after a chance meeting with my old friend, producer, Joshua Andrews. The first run of The Perfect Murder, was a sell-out and we have followed that this year with an even more successful run of my best-selling book Dead Simple. To now have Shane Richie and Jessie Wallace star in The Perfect Murder really is another dream come true.
"Shane and Jessie have been loved on television by huge audiences over a number of years, which just goes to show how great they are together and I can’t wait to see them planning to murder each other on stage every night," says James.
Producer Joshua Andrews adds; “I am thrilled that Shane and Jessie have chosen The Perfect Murder. They really are ‘perfect’ casting for Victor and Joan. Hopefully, we might see a limited London run at the end of the tour.”
Richie and Wallace have starred together in EastEnders for the past 13 years and also also found time for numerous other TV and theatre credits.
Wallace adds: “As soon as I read the script, I knew I had to do it. Watch out because sparks are going to fly and it’s the perfect murder.”
When is their spin off show coming out?
