Michelle Collins to star as Miss Scarlet in UK tour of new
play Cluedo From
Mon 27 June 2022 - Sat 2 July 2022. Was it Miss Scarlett, with the revolver, in the dining room……? Actress Michelle Collins, star of EastEnders,
Coronation Street and 2000 Acres of Sky, is to star as the iconic Miss
Scarlett in the UK Tour of the new play Cluedo. Based on the classic Hasbro detective board game loved by
generations and the hit 1985 Paramount film CLUE, the brand new comedy
thriller opens tours to The Lowry from Mon 27 June until Sat 2 July 2022. Michelle Collins says: “I’m thrilled to be joining the cast of Cluedo. It’s
such an iconic game and I remember how much I loved playing it with my cousins
when we were younger. I’m delighted that it’s being brought to the
stage – and having really enjoyed reading the script, I’m sure audiences
across the UK will love it.” When Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs Peacock, Reverend
Green, Mrs. White and Colonel Mustard arrive at a country house one dark and
stormy evening, they are surprised to find they have all received the same
intriguing invitation from Lord Boddy. It soon becomes clear that they all
have something to hide as the mystery and hysteria grows and the inhabitants
and guests of Boddy Manor are killed off one by one, with a variety of
familiar weapons, leaving everyone to wonder, who will be next! This UK premiere production is directed by Mark Bell, director
of the award winning The Play That Goes Wrong and A Comedy About A Bank
Robbery and just like the game, it promises audiences of all ages a
nostalgic, fun and thrilling evening of entertainment. Based on the
screenplay by Jonathan Lynn, the play is written by Sandy Rustin with additional
materials by Hunter Foster and Eric Price and for the UK production, Mark
Bell. Producer Josh Andrews added: “We wanted an iconic actress to play such an iconic character
and we could not be happier to have Michelle starring as Miss Scarlett in Cluedo.
Both the game and Clue the movie, are much loved by all ages, so it’s a
privilege to bring this new play of Cluedo to the UK stage and it
could not be in more suitable hands than our director, Mark Bell. He
certainly knows how to deliver a night full of great fun and entertainment!” The tour is produced by Josh Andrews and Stuart Galbraith of
Kilimanjaro Theatricals, in collaboration with their US producing partners
Work Light Productions, Lively McCabe Entertainment & The Araca Group. This hilarious spoof of a thriller, will keep you guessing
right up to the finale as both the guests and audience try to work out
whodunnit…. with what… and where! thelowry.com |
