This mini police procedural uses live-stream cameras to manipulate the audience’s point of view in its cat-and-mouse crime story. Comprising a head-to-head between detective Ruth Palmer (Bethan Cullinane) and suspect Cameron Andrews (Jamie Ballard), after one woman has gone missing and another has been murdered, the naturalism of a police interview room is set against a back-screen capturing the pair up close.

It is a shame then that on the day I attended, the technology was not quite working as it should. But perhaps the screen is an unnecessary addition to a simple, yet gripping story about who we picture as a likely criminal, who we excuse and who we believe.
