Show Name: Done To Death by Jove!

Show Description

Created and performed by Gavin Robertson and Nicholas Collett The British Detective Genre – gone wrong! A cast of six bring a group of suspects and Sleuths together to discover whodunnit, and how… Except… four of the actors are stuck by the side of the motorway in the broken-down van, and only those two knights of the Theatre – Sir Gavin and Sir Nicholas - have managed to get to the venue… but ‘the show must go on’… Holmes and Watson, Poirot and Miss Marple join forces in a whirlwind of fast costume changes and misdirected acting hiccups. Even the set’s gone missing! Following sell-out shows in the UK, Edinburgh Fringe, and tours to Australia and the USA! Warning: Contains hats! ”Robertson and Collett are exceptional” Kansas City Star ”Truly intimate, funny and energetic” Pitch Magazine
