The new play, directed by Mark Bell (The Play That Goes Wrong), visits Theatre Royal Brighton from Monday 13 to Saturday 18 June.

Was it Professor Plum in the library with the dagger? To many of us, the board game Cluedo is a family staple, but director Mark Bell’s play takes more of its influence from the 1985 American film Clue. The play retains the characters, weapons and location of a spooky manor house and turn it into a pacey farce that both amuses and frustrates.

Next month, the Belgrade Theatre welcomes a hilarious new whodunnit spoof to its Main Stage. Cluedo is based on the classic board game of the same name, and the 1985 film Clue, and runs from Mon 14 – Sat 19 March, starring EastEnders and Coronation Street legend Michelle Collins as Miss Scarlett.

Following three previously sold out tours, the production will open on Tuesday 13 July 2021 at Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury where it first premiered in 2014, before visiting Cheltenham, Bath, Salford, Nottingham, Eastbourne, Dartford, York, Woking, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Brighton and Aylesbury. Further dates soon to be announced.

All it takes are some happy thoughts and fairy dusta??that's how the boy who never grows up is able to fly, at least.
