Stage Whispers
Jonathan Lynn’s 1985 film Clue, based on the Hasbro boardgame Cluedo, has become a cult movie – and a favourite of Henry Lawson Theatre’s Rebecca Fletcher’s family. No wonder that she grabbed the opportunity to direct Sandy Rustin’s stage adaptation Clue: On. Stage, which is just as whacky – and busy – as the movie!

There is something to be said for being original. When theatre is new, exciting, and cutting-edge, it can feel important. This being said, there is also something about taking the familiar and playing with it. Tropes exist for a reason because quite often the patterns of that story work and don’t beg for reinvention. When these tropes are played with and subverted it can feel as good as new. This is why the movie inspired by the board game, named elsewhere in the world, Clue works so well as a stage play. It is as subverted as you can get, high camp while still being true to the tropes laid down by the masters of the murder mystery before them.
