The Gorleston Theatre Company is very excited to present their January 2025 Play.


On a dark and stormy night, six unique guests, plus a butler and a maid, assemble for a dinner party at the ​home of Mr. Boddy. When their host turns up dead, it is clear that no one is safe! Soon the guests are ​racing to find the killer and keep the body count from stacking up. Based on the popular board game and ​adapted from the cult classic film, Clue is the comedy whodunit that will keep you guessing (and ​laughing) to the very end.


Adapted from the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn Additional materials by Hunter Foster, Eric Price & Sandy ​Rustin Adapted from the Paramount Pictures film written by Jonathan Lynn and the board game from ​Hasbro, Inc
