We reviewed the original last year, and now look forward to the sequel – Cluedo 2 – The Next Chapter, which is due to visit the New Theatre in June 2024.
With an original new story set in the 60s, Cluedo 2 – The Next Chapter is described as “a riotous spoof of a comedy thriller”.
⬛ Before then, 17-21 October 2023, you can catch comedian, Rory Bremner, starring as Chris Tarrant in the critically acclaimed play Quiz.
It also features Emmerdale star Charley Webb, in her first professional stage role and recently on screens in Better (BBC); Lewis Reeves, who appeared in I May Destroy You and The Midwich Cuckoos, and TV star of hits including Northern Lights, Waterloo Road and Shakespeare and Hathaway: Private Investigators, Mark Benton.
Quiz is the thrilling and entertaining ride through the infamous Coughing Major scandal which engulfed the world’s most popular TV quiz show. The story remains a mystery and had over six million people glued to their screens in 2020 watching the ITV adaptation starring Michael Sheen, Matthew Macfadyen and Sian Clifford.
