Something everyone could use in 2020 is a clue on what the future holds. Clue, the play by the Dannevirke Theatre Company might not provide this, but it will definitely distract people from worrying about the future as they sit, entranced, trying to keep up with the fast cast to work out whodunit.
Clue continues to echo the year 2020 when the play opens with flashes of thunder and lightning, and the ominous creek of the opening door as the butler, the housemaid, and the cook take the stage.
'I can see from the looks on your faces you haven't a clue,' Wadsworth the butler addresses the audience. And the cast of the Dannevirke Theatre Co add to the general glorious confusion with their hilarious use of foreign accents and throwing out red herrings to flummox the less mentally well-endowed.
The props are great supporting details and the placement of key items is as clever as the cast, a credit to the director Gerard McKay, as it ensures complete audience participation and perfectly timing which ensures you will be kept busy guessing right until the end.
