Synopsis

Head back to the swinging sixties with the latest stage incarnation of the beloved board game. Cluedo 2 centers around the mysterious goings-on at Gravney Manner, the home of washed-up rock singer Rick Black. He is surrounded by assorted hangers-on, any of whom could have murder in their hearts following the discovery of Rick’s dead body in his recording studio. As the characters weave their way from room to room, through secret passages, the body count begins to rise. Was it Colonel Mustard in the dining room with the lead piping? Or perhaps Mrs White had her murderous way with the dagger in the kitchen? As the bodies pile up, it is revealed that each of the colorful characters isn’t exactly who they seem. Full of witty innuendos, stylized choreography, and quirky melodrama, this new farce offers a fresh take on a classic mystery.
