Done to Death by Jove!
'The 39 Steps' meets Agatha Christie via Holmes and Watson!
Fresh from a tour abroad, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and now touring the UK, we're delighted to welcome the first touring company of 2022 to Nairn with this fantastic comedy performance!
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...
Warning: Contains Hats!
