This Is Not A Murder Mystery

Written by Peter Rae - Directed by Helen Bang

A tense and exciting new comedy-thriller set in a (regional) theatre dressing room on the opening night of a Brand New Murder Mystery.

Award-Winning Director (of mostly sanitary towel commercials) Sebastian Fawn attempts in vain to wrangle his cast - a trio of indomitable women over 50, and the token handsome young male ingénue - before a shocking discovery is made...

Will Reality Imitate Art?… (as in, will there be a murder?)...

The new play from Canonbie Productions, the team behind the well-received and award-nominated An Absolute Farce of a Murder Mystery & Don’t Take The Pith!

Content warnings: Majority female dialogue; Women over 50 (multiple); Swearing (though you’re probably only likely to be massively triggered by swear words if you’re a bellend); Murder (duh!); dressing room nakedness (not in the slightest bit erotic), (See also, women over 50); fast-paced dialogue and a commensurate lack of respect for slow-witted people; what else, erm... Content; Potential Triggers; Stakes; Speed; Minimal Thinking time; ALSO: the same writer as the previous productions by this writer. If this writer isn’t to your taste don’t come and see the play, because it’s the same writer.
