Clue Onstage
by Wimberley Players

Jan. 04 - Jan. 05 (2022)

Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party with murder and blackmail on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by the butler Wadsworth, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Colonel Mustard, all race to find the killer as the bodies stack up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they tryto figure out...WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!

The play begins just before dinner on a dark and stormy night not too far from Washington, D.C. in 1954 at Boddy Manor – A mansion of epic proportions and terrifying secrets.

Directed by Bridget Farias-Gates.

MISS SCARLET, a dry, sardonic D.C. madam, more interested in secrets than sex.

MRS. PEACOCK, the wealthy wife of a senator. A bit batty, neurotic, and quick to hysteria.

COLONEL MUSTARD, a puffy, pompous, dense, blowhard of a military man. PROFESSOR PLUM, an arrogant academic, easily impressed by himself.
MR. GREEN, a timid yet officious rule follower. He’s awfully anxious.
