Presented by: Covert Theatre
From: Tāmaki Makaurau | Auckland
DOUBLE FEATURE: The Remarkable Case Of and A Bard's Tale – twice the comedy!
A mysterious case of murder most foul is visited upon the great halls of Larnach Castle! Join our author as he writes the latest book in his series, The Remarkable Case Of, where he takes you back to 1947's England and his world famous sleuth solves the crime in this hilarious murder mystery with a twist. The twist is you see the ending of the novel first and then we go back to the beginning and see how it all unfolds, with the same ending performed again an hour later. Did we mention that this page turner is fully improvised by our cast of colourful characters?
A Bard's Tale – the greatest play Shakespeare NEVER wrote. The cast performs an unscripted play in the style of Shakespeare so full of wit and whimsy that even the bard himself would take delight! This mind-boggling show has been performed at the Hawai'i Improv Festival and the Pop Up Globe in Auckland.
“An impressive feat in improvised performance. Well worth a watch!” – Theatreview
“A unique, unexpected and uncanny show. This show is a testament to the clever and quick-witted talents of its players.” – Mac + Mae
“Spontaneous laughter that is pure and it’s bloody funny. This show is as good as any improv you’ll see in the modern world.” – The Speakeasy
The Covert Theatre is NZ's premier improvised comedy theatre company and this is their first visit to Dunedin, performing for one night only. This special evening of fun and laughter at Larnach Castle is sure to sell out so book early!
