The Daughter of Time in London
Romance, history, and myth come together in this riveting, dramatic adaptation of Josephine Tey’s best-selling crime novel, where a detective in 1950s London chases the secrets of Richard III and the young princes killed in the Tower of London.
Why should you see The Daughter of Time?
- The novel was voted number one in the British Crime Writers’ Association’s Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time - so if you’re a mystery fan, this thrilling detective story is a must watch.
- History lovers will also adore this take on one of the most enduring historical mysteries that has plagued scholars for generations - what happened to the Princes in the Tower?
What is The Daughter of Time about?
Based on the 1951 detective novel by Josephine Trey, The Daughter of Time follows Inspector Alan Grant’s investigation of a medieval cold case - the murder of the Princes in the Tower by King Richard III. The bedridden detective tangles with Shakespearan actors, nurses, his skeptical deputy, and a lovesick historical researcher as he searches for answers to one of the most baffling historical mysteries of all time.
The novel will be adapted for the stage by playwright M Kilburg Reedy (Second Lady), who commented: "What drew me in was a sense of injustice done to Richard and the question of how a historical record can be distorted for political purposes – including even recent events within everyone’s living memory”. Reedy joins forces with director Jenny Eastop (Killing the Cat) in tackling the formidable task of bringing a character-driven mystery novel to life on the stage.
This thrilling new play will have its world premiere at the Charing Cross Theatre this summer. With a tantalising mystery at its heart, an eclectic cast of characters, and a high-stakes plot that takes audiences on a journey through time, Daughter of Time is sure to appeal to both mystery and history buffs.
