🎭 THE BUTLER ISN’T LOOKING SO INNOCENT… 🎭
A fresh deck of clues has been dealt — and right on top sits Wadsworth, the ever‑helpful (or is he?) butler, cool as can be in the Ball Room with a rather sharp‑looking Knife.
Very normal. Very innocent. Very… suspicious.
Could our suspect be Wadsworth in the Ball Room with a Knife — or is he simply polishing the silver a little too enthusiastically.
Catch the fast-paced mayhem in Clue on Stage at the 1812 Theatre!

Mr Boddy has been spotted in the Billiard Room… and someone left a Wrench lying around. 🕵️♂️
Coincidence? We think not.
If we were betting, we’d put our money on Mr Boddy in the Billiard Room with the Wrench — but the mansion is full of surprises.
Find out in Clue on Stage — where every clue counts and every character is delightfully suspicious.

Synopsis:
When young Jim Hawkins is left a treasure map by the dying buccaneer Billy Bones, he sets sail on the Hispaniola in search of the island. Among the crew, the one-legged Long John Silver becomes his greatest friend, but Silver has a shocking secret in store, and when they reach their destination, Jim faces danger and adventure greater than he could ever have imagined.

🎭 CAST ANNOUNCEMENT! 🎭
The mystery just got a fresh twist…
We’re delighted to welcome Patt Ryan to the cast of Clue on Stage in the delightfully blustering role of Colonel Mustard!
Patt’s comic flair and larger‑than‑life presence are already lighting up rehearsals — and yes, he looks excellent in mustard tones.
A huge thank‑you to Tim Byron, who was originally cast in the role but has had to step away for personal reasons. We’re sending Tim all our best wishes.
