​Review of House on the Cold Hill by Janet Hale 

The play is a supernatural thriller written by the crime writer Peter James. Being a big fan of Peter James crime fiction I was concerned this wouldn't live up to his books, I didn't need to be, the drama and suspense ran right through to the very end.

The story, based on actual events that happened to him and his family, is set in a haunted gothic house. A young family move in and strange things start to happen. There is just one set used right through the play, but with the added twist of up to date technology. There is a very unpredictable twist at the end which I won't give away.

The acting is brilliant throughout and the characters are very believable.

I would highly recommend this play to people who enjoy an evening of drama and suspense.
