Based on the film and classic board game, Clue is a brand-new comedy thriller.

When Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs Peacock, Mr Green, Mrs White and Colonel Mustard arrive at a party, they are surprised to find they have all received the same invitation from Mr Boddy. Each is presented with a weapon and an option: pay their extortionist double, or kill the innocent butler. What follows is a madcap, slapstick evening full of murder, mystery, and laughs as they seek to puzzle out the culprit amongst criminals.

It soon becomes clear that they all have secrets and the mystery and hysteria grow when the inhabitants of Boddy Manor are killed off with a variety of familiar weapons.

The Peach Season

by Debra Oswald

Directed by Jack Linklater

By Special Arrangement with Cameron’s Management Pty Ltd

July 28th – August 19th

The Peach Season is a big, juicy, Australian play by playwright Debra Oswald, who also wrote Theatre on Chester’s 2018 hit Mr Bailey’s Minder. The play is about Celia, who fled Sydney with baby Zoe in her arms after her husband was killed.  Sixteen years later, their isolated peach farm is a safe haven keeping Zoe safe from the dangers of the world. But the restless teenager is chaffing against her mother’s over-protectiveness, yearning to bite into all life has to offer. Short-listed for the New South Wales Premier’s Literary Awards and winner of the 2005 Rodney Seaborn Playwright’s Award, this moving and suspenseful story is about our overwhelming desire to protect the ones we love and the painful necessity to let them go out into the world.
