This was an absolutely magical and hilarious show. From the amazing cast to the crew and outstanding sets and props. If you know the show you won't be disappointed by this cast, they are absolutely amazing and put 100% into their performances and play their parts so well. If you are new to shows and love to laugh, give this play a chance you'll not be disappointed. Adults and children in the audience of all walks of life laughed so much through out. Can't wait to go back and see another show! Love from your Canadian fans !

I've been directing small town community volunteer theatre for over forty years, specializing in comedies and specifically farces. I've also seen many professional shows in the bigger cities and especially in New York. I'm usually NOT fooled about what comes next, or how the gag gets played out. THIS show not only surprised me at EVERY turn, but I can't recall laughing out loud so much at a play. So many times we, the audience, broke into applause during a bit that I can't count how many times that happen

The story

There’s been a murder at a country estate, and Inspector Carter is on the case. But with the Cornley Drama Society in charge, solving the crime is the least of their worries. Props malfunction, doors won’t open, actors miss cues, and one even gets stuck in a grandfather clock. The cast desperately tries to hold the show together through all the chaos, resulting in relentless, side-splitting comedy. Will they make it to the curtain call? Probably. Will anything else survive?

Critics reviews

“A great-looking, brilliantly performed piece.”

– Sunday Telegraph

“Deliriously funny.”

– The Stage

This show was hilarious. The comedic timing was spot on, the humour was witty, slapstick and absurd. I highy recommend it, and if you love Duran Duran there is a little extra for you in the show too.
