The Diamond Brothers in The Falcon's Malteser

Product Information

The show we were due to be performing when the pandemic closed the theatres finally hit the road! Another instalment in our hugely popular ‘Crimes…’ series of comedy thrillers. Crimes, Camera, Action whisked the audience to golden-era Hollywood and introduced a new lead detective, a world-weary, hard-boiled private-eye in the mould of Humphrey Bogart: meet Stan Shakespeare. Anthony Horowitz himself says “(The script) stays very true to the fun and the adventure of the story, presenting the myriad characters with just four young actors and a huge amount of inventiveness. In fact, it’s an object lesson in the power of the theatre.” Heather & Feargus love to work with new people from all areas of theatre, and have made many new old friends of their own through the company. Amongst author Anthony Horowit’z other works are the bestselling teen spy series Alex Rider, estimated to have sold 19 million copies worldwide. Anthony also pens numerous successful television series, including Midsomer Murders and Foyle’s War. In 1991, The Diamond Brothers, a six-part television series written and directed by Horowitz himself, was broadcast on ITV. [14] The series is based on the book South by South East, which Horowitz claimed he wrote after he had written the television series, effectively making South by South East a novelisation of the television series rather than the novel acting as the primary source of inspiration. Both McLinden and Dale reprised their respective film roles, which makes the television series act as a sequel to Just Ask for Diamond. However, unlike the film adaptation, the series has never been released on any home media, and it was also never rebroadcast.
