Review: CLudo 2! unravel the whodunit puzzle
In this rollicking spoof of a comedy, set against the backdrop of the swinging 1960s, we encounter a new house, fresh suspects, and a plethora of new bodies. The plot unfolds with murder, mystery, and secret passageways, keeping the audience guessing right up to the final twist. 🕵️♂️💡
Starring Heartbeat and Casualty’s Jason Durr and Strictly 2023 champion Ellie Leach, “Cluedo 2” promises an entertaining evening for all ages. Written by BAFTA winners Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, and directed by Mark Bell, who previously helmed the original Cluedo and “The Play That Goes Wrong,” this production is a delightful blend of suspense and humor. 🎉
The set design for “Cluedo 2: The Next Chapter” at the New Theatre in Cardiff is a delightful blend of retro chic and intrigue. Picture this: a grand, creaky mansion with ornate wallpaper, dimly lit chandeliers, and secret passages lurking behind bookshelves. The stage transitions in a fun, Scooby Doo style skit between the drawing room, the library, and the Kitchen . Expect hidden doors, laugh out loud jokes, and perhaps even a taxidermy bear that’s more than just decorative. 🏰🕯️
Mrs White, the housekeeper (Played by Dawn Buckland) will have you rocking in your seat with laughter! Her comic timing and quick witted one-liners was my stand out moments of the evening.
So, grab your detective hat, guess along as the bodies pile up, and join the colorful characters as they try to escape the killer, survive the night, and unravel the whodunit puzzle. 🕵️♀️🔍
