TWO of the UK's most popular television actors star in the taut psychological thriller, Deceptions, which comes to Hall for Cornwall from Monday, July 27, to Saturday, August 1, as part of a limited national tour.

The ultimate mind game where deception is the ruling force, this addictive thriller will keep you absorbed right up to the unexpected and well-executed finale.

All will be revealed in this brilliantly gripping drama starring one of the country's best loved soap baddies, Michelle Collins.

She is perhaps best known for her role as the conniving Cindy Beale in EastEnders, but has also appeared in Rock Rivals, Sunburn and the award-winning 2000 Acres of Sky. Michelle is joined by Rupert Hill, who most recently appeared as Jamie Baldwin in Coronation Street.

Psychiatrist Julia Smythe (Collins) is starting to believe that there are no longer any interesting cases in her field of work; things appear to be no different when Adrian Wainwright (Hill) makes an appointment seeking another quick fix.

What results from their sessions is a battle of wills, played out in stylish and witty banter, as each of them tries to take charge of the situation. As secrets are revealed a psychological game of cat and mouse begins, taking them both on a journey that threatens to spiral beyond their control. Who will gain the upper hand? It's all in the mind...

There are evening and matinee performances with tickets from £9 (RV) to £20, with concessions available, plus a 90p Theatre Fund payment. Call the box office on 01872 262 466 or book online at www.hallforcornwall.co.uk
