And here's the @buxtonfringe.bsky.social review of It's Not Cluedo. Just a one-off at Buxton, but on again for @durhamfreefringe.bsky.social on the 23rd July.

IT'S NOT CLUEDO - Chris Neville-Smith

As a major fan of Cluedo, I was really looking forward to this one and Chris definitely didn't disappoint. At the same time, as noted in the title though, this is Not Cluedo. Instead, it's a creative twist on the cherished board game that so many of us have loved over the years.

The show began with the announcement that there had been a murder (!) and we had one hour to solve the mystery before the murderer got away. At this point, the game had to be set up. With Chris improvising and including audience participation, together we created six new suspects, six new weapons and nine potential murder locations for our poor, unsuspecting victim.

With our local dive bar as the setting, was it Reverend Fire in the DJ booth with the golf balls? Or was it Madam Ice in the gents loo with the trombone? Accusations were thrown, innocence was proven, and as time ticked on, we worked as a team, determined to find the killer!

A light-hearted, fun-filled show full of laughs and creativity, It's Not Cluedo has taken a well-known basis for a game and turned it upside down, resulting in a great show where, with only a few minutes left, we actually caught our killer! Job well done.

Well, here's a rarity. For the first time since 2020, a @buxtonfringe.bsky.social play gets my highest acclamation. You absolutely must catch Lubna Kerr's Lunchbox, a play about the kid who bullied her at school - with a surprisingly sympathetic depiction of the boy who's bullied more at home.
