The Playhouse Theatre’s next show is a comedy that will have audiences guessing…and laughing.
Director Bex Hutchins said ‘A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody’, by playwright Ron Bernas, will appeal to all those who love a good laugh and a murder mystery.
“This six-character comedy is a spoof of, and love letter to, screwball comedies that audiences love and to stage mysteries in general,” Bex said.
“It features witty dialogue and laugh-out-loud slapstick comedy delivered by some of the Playhouse Theatre’s favourite actors, including Phil Fresta, Alison Esposito, Paul Burrell, Bonny Treloar, Tim Heffernan and Tim Greig.”
The play opens with the rich, bored Matthew (Phil Fresta) promising to kill his rich, bored wife Julia (Alison Esposito) so he can become a jet setter like his friend who recently lost his wife.
Julia, who’s always about three steps ahead of him, plays along.
And so the game of cat and mouse begins – a hilarious year-long match of wits and the witless.
‘A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody’ is on at The Playhouse Theatre for five performances on 6, 7, 13 and 14 October at 7:30pm, with a matinee on Sunday 8 October at 3pm.
