Synopsis:                        

Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth – the butler, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out…WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!

Characters

WADSWORTH: (30s or older) A traditional British butler in every sense: uptight, formal and “by the book.” He is the driving force in the play.

COLONEL MUSTARD: (30s - 40s) A puffy, pompous, dense, blow-hard of a military man.

MRS. WHITE: A pale, morbid, and tragic woman. Mrs. White may or may not be the murderer of her five ex-husbands. 

MR. GREEN: A timid, yet officious, rule follower. He’s a bit of a klutz and awfully anxious. 

MRS. PEACOCK: The church-going wife of a Senator. A bit batty, neurotic, and quick to hysteria.

PROFESSOR PLUM: An academic Casanova who woos women with his big … brain.

MISS SCARLET: A dry, sardonic D.C. Madam who is more interested in secrets than sex.

YVETTE: A sexy, French Maid, with her own secret aspirations.
