It’s a dark and stormy night in 1949, and you’ve 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 whodunnit? 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, Cluedo is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
Character descriptions & playing ages:-
Wadsworth - Male 25+ - A traditional butler in every sense: uptight, formal and "by the book." He is the driving force in the play. High energy role.
Yvette - Female 18-45 - a loyal and sexy "French" maid.
Miss Scarlett - Female 25-45 - a dry, sardonic madam, more interested in secrets than sex.
Mrs Peacock - Female 45+ - the wealthy wife of a member of the House Of Lords. A bit batty, neurotic, and quick to hysteria.
Mrs White - Female 35+ - a pale, morbid, and tragic woman. Mrs White may or may not be the murderer of her 5 ex-husbands.
Colonel Mustard - Male 40+ - a puffy, pompous, dense blowhard of a military man.
Professor Plum - Male 30+ - an arrogant academic, easily impressed by himself.
Reverend Green - Male 30+ - a timid yet officious rule follower. He's awfully anxious
Mr Boddy - Male 18+ - a slick, Frank Sinatra, film noir-esque type fella (also plays The Motorist & Inspector)
*There are additional roles for Ensemble Man 2 and Ensemble Woman that will be offered to auditionees unsuccessful in being cast in other roles*
