Harry Potter star Oliver Phelps branching out to Bury St. Edmunds murder mystery

Ready to see George Weasley head out on his own? Well, now you can in a way, as Harry Potter’s Oliver Phelps will star in a Bury St. Edmunds murder mystery.

You’re used to seeing Oliver Phelps on the screen with his twin brother James in Harry Potter, but now you’ll get to see George Weasley head out in the world alone. Well, sort of. Oliver is starring in a Bury St. Edmunds murder mystery, titled “The Case of the Frightened Lady,” set in 1932 and we can’t wait. Oh, and did we say it’s a stage production?

It’s going to be a very typical murder mystery affair, according to the star, Everyone is going to get killed and there are clues along the way to figure out who did it. Gray O’Brien plays the inspector and it certainly sounds like he’s a good man on and off stage. He’s taken Oliver under his wing to show the ropes, as this is Oliver’s first venture onto the stage.
