The Murderer in the Mirror (also known as The Mark of Cain) by Peter Colley is the story of identical twins, who were raised in northern Ontario. Michael committed murder in the family cottage and was sent to a mental institution. His brother Sean, with his new wife, Dale, have returned to sell the property, against Michael's wishes. They hear that Michael has escaped and is heading for the cottage.
Can the police stop Michael, or has he already arrived and taken his brother's place? Or is Sean susceptible to the same madness that afflicted his twin?
The Murderer in the Mirror is a suspenseful thriller, laced with humour, about the dark side of being an identical twin. It is written from the heart, because the author is a twin himself.

News
Brighton Barn Theatre lost its long time President on May 2nd after a lengthy illness. Art Middleton, or J Arthur as he always liked to be listed in our programs, had been President for as long as most of us can remember.
For almost 20 years, in addition to his presidential duties, Art also produced plays, was our Technical Director, set designer, lighting designer and operator. We have always been blessed that Art and his construction team had our sets "ready to go" so that our casts could rehearse on them as quickly as possible.
Art was truly committed to our Brighton Barn Theatre, having moved from Cobourg to Brighton, just five minutes away from the theatre, when he became President.
Despite his illness, Art last designed the set and lighting for Norm Foster's "Jenny's House of Joy" which ran April - May this 2025 season and was a tremendous success.
His talents and dedication will surely be missed.
