Mark Billingham, My Darling Clementine

Pain, loss and violence might be the lifeblood of crime fiction but they also feature at the heart of the very best country music. And now the two come together in an original show, The Other Half written by award-winning crime writer Mark Billingham with music by leading British Americana country duo, My Darling Clementine.

Set in a rundown Memphis bar, three couples tell their very different stories. The bliss and the heartbreak, desire, death and domestic horror. That long and difficult search for the other half...

Using the fantastic songs of Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish, aka My Darling Clementine, as a springboard, The Other Half is a unique collaboration combining storytelling and song.


The Other Half, which is approximately one hour long, features Mark Billingham reading his story and My Darling Clementine, punctuating the narrative with those songs that inspired it. After the interval, audiences will be able to enjoy a full live set from My Darling Clementine.
