IF you enjoy the clever Mischief Theatre productions (The Play That Goes Wrong, etc) look out for Our Star Theatre’s new play, Death(s) At Sea on a lengthy national tour with local dates at Dorchester Corn Exchange on Thursday 19th and Seaton Gateway on Friday 20th.

The play, a comedy murder mystery, is when Our Star Theatre will perform a new comedy murder mystery, Deaths At Sea, which is very much in the tradition of well-meaning-but-chaotic theatre productions.

A small theatre company is performing a new murder-mystery play Death at Sea – but despite their best efforts, everything goes wrong! The play is supposed to be a thrilling murder mystery set on a small ship carrying just five passengers and its captain. When one of the passengers is found dead, the remaining passengers speculate and turn on each other until the real murderer is caught …

That’s the plan – but it’s not quite how things work out.

In Death(s) at Sea, props fail, the set falls down, actors get drunk and concussed … and conversations in the wings reveal too much. Can they make it to the end of the play before one of them really kills someone?
