    Charles Paris is his own worst enemy, a louche lush who can resist anything except temptation... especially in the form of women and alcohol.

    He's been out of work so long now he feels he may never get a job and he's driving Frances, his semi-ex-wife, mad. So when he's offered a small role in a play, she nearly pushes him out of the door. But it seems that "The Message is Murder" is such a terrible production that someone wants to kill off the cast. First there is a series of nasty accidents, then someone attempts to stab Charles.

  • So Much Blood

    So Much Blood
    2026/06/24
    Charles Paris returns in a show at the Edinburgh Festival - with another attractive young girl to provoke him, his understanding wife to console him, and a gory murder to challenge him in So Much Blood.

    Edinburgh and the Festival are both background and foreground with Charles, flitting between a re-visualized Midsummer Night's Dream, a mixed-media satire, a late-night revue, and his own one-man show on Thomas Hood—and with a fading pop star as the first victim, a bomb scare in Holyrood Palace, and a suicide leap from the top of the Rock. Charles copes splendidly with the Festival, with his affair with the girl with the navy eyes, and with a most complex murder investigation.

    Bill Nighy as Charles Paris
    with Suzanne Burden as Frances
    and Jon Glover, Daniel Ryan, Paul Rider, Sunny Ormonde, Tim McInnerny, Ioan Meredith, Owen Oakeshott
