MIX UP REVIEWS:
Stewart - ★★★★★
'This totally bonkers, gaudy, camp murder mystery is one of the wildest nights you'll have in the theatre. Yes it contains some well known drag stars of RuPaul's Drag Race but this gloriously daft, hilarious performance entirely deserves it's own merits.
The play is written by Holly Stars and she sets the tale in 1991 - which provides ample laughs for naffness - crispy pancakes anyone? Holly Stars herself is an absolute riot in 3 separate roles as the staff members who come to help Vinegar Strokes' Madame on the night where a number of guests have been invited along to celebrate the anniversary of Charles & Diana.
The cast of drag queens and kings are fantastic, all each providing their own quirky physicality and characterisations and everyone gets a well deserved laugh throughout.
If you want to see what a John Waters style take on Agatha Christie would be - go see this!
On a side note, the theatre recommends this for Age 12+ - I would maybe lift that a little to 14+ - it wears it's rudeness delightfully on its garish sleeve! You've been warned!"
