A brand-new twist on the iconic board game!
It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party – this time featuring a 1960s British rock ’n’ roll flair. When host and English rock star Rick Black is found dead, the listening party for his newest album turns into a whodunit instead. Join the iconic characters known as Scarlett, Plum, White, Green, Peacock and Mustard as they race to find the murderer before the body count stacks up. Based on the popular board game, Clue: The British Invasion is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing – both about who killed the host and where their accents are coming from – until the final twist.
Clue: The British Invasion toured the UK in a production directed by Mark Bell (The Play That Goes Wrong) as Cluedo 2 – The Next Chapter. This North American adaptation by Yoni Weiss was developed for wider licensing and continues the theatrical universe of the original Clue, consistently one of the most-produced US high school plays. This 90-minute farce-meets-murder mystery for a flexible cast of 10-12 performers is an ideal choice for educational theatre programs seeking beloved and familiar source material showcasing an ensemble cast.
“...lovingly made and beautifully produced, a knowing spoof that manages to be hilarious and irreverent whilst keeping you intrigued with its twisting, ridiculous mysteries.”
