Hit new play NOIR heads to America and worldwide as it joins theatre streaming site OVERTURE+

After a successful streaming run in the UK and Europe, the new play Noir (inspired by 40s and 50s black and white movies) will finally be presented in America and worldwide from 4 September as it joins the fantastic theatre streaming site OVERTURE+.

Produced by the award winning UK theatre company Vertigo Theatre Productions, Noir tells the story of Veronica Smart (Emma Morgan), a beautiful 40-year-old woman with dreams of stardom and a 16 year marriage to Cliff Smart (John Tueart), a successful New York businessman. Now bored with life and the marriage decaying, she wants out, and she will do anything to make that happen. Meeting a group of teenagers at the local school where she works, including the rebellious but broken Jimmy Flynn (Richard Allen), sets in motion a plan that will include seduction, passion, lies, manipulation and murder.

Filmed on only three camera phones during the pandemic by the producer and director, who had never shot or edited a film of any kind before, this was a true labour of love, a way to keep theatre alive and deliver it to a home audience.

This is a black and white capture of Noir that is sure to take you back in time to a world of hardened detectives, burning desires, teen angst, lust, murder and a deadly femme fatale.

Written and directed by multi award-winning Craig Hepworth (Porno Chic, Fake News, Last Dance, Exam), Noir will bring the world of black and white movies and pulp detective novels to the stage.

Noir will be available to stream from 4 September to 4 December 2021. To book tickets, please click here.
