Dead on Cue: A ghost story set in Theatreland

Mark Carey’s ‘Dead on Cue’ is a brilliantly crafted one-man thriller that combines elements of suspense, horror, and drama. Its unique premise, compelling narrative, and outstanding performance make it a must-see for anyone who enjoys a good mystery with a supernatural twist.

The unique premise of ‘Dead on Cue’ is the intertwining of two performances of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet,’ set 65 years apart, in 1958 and 2023. The phrase “time is out of joint” becomes hauntingly literal as strange and unexplainable events seem to repeat themselves in both time periods. Mark Carey masterfully weaves these two narratives together, with the character in the later period, Hamish Fife, attempting to uncover the mysterious disappearance of an understudy on the opening night of Hamlet. ‘Dead on Cue’ is a tour de force for Carey, having written the play, taken all the roles, and designed the spooky special effects.
It is an experience that leaves a lasting impression, bringing Carey’s complex characters to life and creating a chilling atmosphere that leaves the audience spellbound.
