Theatregoers in Southport will play jury this month when Southport Dramatic Club brings Quiz – The Ingram Scandal to the stage.
Starting tonight (11 September) and running until 19 September at the Little Theatre, the play re-examines the 2003 “Coughing Major” scandal, when Charles Ingram, his wife Diana, and an accomplice were found guilty of cheating their way to £1m on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.
Moving from the TV studio floor to the courtroom, the satire asks whether the evidence against the couple was really as clear-cut as the original headlines made out.
Audience members will be asked to use their phones during the performance to cast votes for the show’s ‘Ask the Audience’ lifelines, before voting on the final verdict at the end of each act.
