The murder mystery spoof boasts a seriously starry cast
If you want to see some of this country’s biggest names of stage and screen take on a leading theatre role completely unrehearsed, then you’ll want to nab a ticket to Whoddunit [Unrehearsed] 3 at The Park Theatre in Finsbury Park this spring. Co-written and directed by the theatre’s Artistic Director Jez Bond, the play is the third instalment in this Agatha Christie-style murder mystery spoof series and it features a different actor taking on the lead role of the Inspector for every performance – without having ever seen the script before or having any time to rehearse.
Across the play’s run, the role of the Inspector will be played by Benedict Cumberbatch, Gillian Anderson, Daisy Ridley, Adrian Lester, Jodie Whittaker, Amanda Abbington, Clive Anderson, David Baddiel, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Christopher Biggins, Marcus Brigstocke, Simon Callow, Michelle Collins, Nina Conti, Victoria Coren Mitchell, Brian Cox, Les Dennis, Adrian Dunbar, Mark Gatiss, Tamsin Greig, David Haig, Harry Hill, Adam Hills, Ronan Keating, Ross Kemp, Beverley Knight, Maureen Lipman, Gareth Malone, Jason Manford, Stephen Mangan, Tim McInnerny, David Mitchell, Neil Morrissey, Eddie Nestor, Sue Perkins, Clarke Peters, Rob Rinder, Tony Robinson, Meera Syal, Catherine Tate, Sandi Toksvig, Johnny Vegas, Tim Vine, and Greg Wise. Now that’s what we call a cast.
Each actor will only play the role once and you won’t know who is starring the show until the night, so you’ll be surprised at curtain up, as will they once the action starts. The production is being staged to raise money to help keep the theatre running, so tickets start at £57.50 but you can bag £15 standing tickets on the morning of each performance day too.
