THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD (whodunit, from Charles Dickens) – 1f, 2m with doubling
This enthralling new version of Charles Dickens’ classic whodunit is packed full of vivid characters and nightmarish locations…from an opium den, via a creepy cathedral crypt, to the fog and shadows of Victorian London. A handsome young man, full of life and hope, and betrothed from childhood to a beautiful young girl, suddenly and inexplicably vanishes without trace. His uncle pledges to find out the truth … but is it he, also in love with the young girl, who holds the wicked secret to his nephew’s disappearance? Unfinished at Dickens' death, this version supplies its own version of whodunnit! Originally designed to be performed by three actors doubling the many colourful characters, the script could as well be performed by a larger cast with less or no doubling.
“enough to satisfy the most demanding whodunnit audience” (Derbyshire Times)
