Created and performed by Nicholas Collett and Gavin Robertson
‘The 39 Steps’ meets Agatha Christie via Holmes and Watson! A cast of six bring a comic flurry of suspects and sleuths together to discover whodunnit, and how… Except, well… four of the cast are stuck by the side of the M6 in the broken-down van, and only those two knights of the theatre – Sir Gavin and Sir Nicholas – have managed to get to the venue… but ‘the show must go on’… what could possibly go wrong!?
Comic clichés from the Great British Detective genre – a substitute set, missing costumes and cunning detective work abound in this genre-busting farcical comedy from the “Masters of inventive silliness!” That’s if the two of them can get through the play at all without losing the plot. Literally.It’s not a new idea – it’s been ‘Done to Death, by Jove’ – but not like this…
