Following the huge success of the smash hit original play and exhausted from standing ovations night after night, Cluedo – the hilarious whodunit – is back on stage in 2024 with a New Chapter.

The brilliant cast includes West End and TV star Jason Durr, whose numerous credits include leading roles in Heartbeat and Casualty, playing Colonel Mustard and award-winning actress and star of Coronation Street and Strictly Come Dancing champion, Ellie Leach, playing Miss Scarlett.

Rock n roll legend Rick Black has not had a hit for years and he’s broke. But as he settles into his grand new, expensive home, Graveny Manor,  Rick is desperate to revive his fading career and reclaim his fame and fortune…. and is prepared to do anything to get it back. Excited to reveal his long-awaited comeback album, Rick has assembled his supermodel wife, The Honourable Emerald Peacock; his manager, Colonel Eugene Mustard, long-time roadie “Professor” Alex Plum, Annabel Scarlett his trusted interior designer and housekeeper Mrs White, who came with the house and who knows all its secrets. 

But there is still someone missing… Rick’s former songwriting partner “The Reverend” Hal Green, disappeared mysteriously at the same time that Rick’s career went downhill and without him, has Rick still got it? 

And where did that butler come from?

As the bodies pile up, our infamous colourful characters uncover each other’s mysteries and secrets, as they dart from room to room trying to escape the murderer and survive the night.
