Clue (High School Edition)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 where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth – the butler, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out…WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT! “Fantastic production for high schools, especially schools with smaller departments!” Jeff Walker, Teacher/Director, Fall Mountain High School, Lempster, NH “Students loved being a part of it, and it was very well received by their families, school administration, and the community. The script was amazing, as were the sound effects, and we enjoyed the production from start to finish.” Tina Grimes, Director, Paulding High School, Paulding, OH Please note this is a play with underscoring music.
