It’s a dark and stormy night. Whodunnit? And how? The answer(s) may surprise you.
It’s a dark and stormy night, and our cast of oddball characters has been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
Also available in a School Edition.

WADSWORTH – A traditional butler in every sense: uptight, formal and by the book. He is the driving force in the play. YVETTE – A loyal and sexy ‘French‘ maid. MISS SCARLETT – A dry sardonic madam more interested in secrets than sex. MRS PEACOCK – The wealthy wife of a member of the House of Lords. A bit batty, neurotic and quick to hysteria. MRS WHITE – A pale, morbid and tragic woman. Mrs. White may or may not be the murderer of her five ex-husbands.COLONEL MUSTARD – A puffy, pompous, dense blowhard of a military man. PROFESSOR PLUM – An arrogant academic easily impressed by himself. REVEREND GREEN – A timid yet officious rule follower. He's awfully anxious.
