The Night Ali Died by Christopher Sainton-Clarke

Ali Clarke is an unassuming chemist who after witnessing a grisly murder is placed under police surveillance for the protection of his family. Yet, despite death threats from a notorious gangster, Ali leaves his home, sparking a volatile chain reaction of betrayal, murder, theft and vengeance. Piece by piece and through the accounts of each key player, find out what happened on the night Ali died. Set in the UK's gritty underworld, The Night Ali Died is a truly unique and immersive crime thriller, and is the latest creation of Sainton-Clark & Raising Cain Productions. This theatre production company is dedicated to creating high concept, bold and cinematic theatre on a small and easily tourable scale. Dramaturg Rosanna Mallinson has been brought on board for this latest project, and her physical theatre background - paired with Sainton-Clark's naturalistic script - creates the perfect crime thriller for the stage.
