A TOURING arts organisation in Dorset is taking a comedy take on the detective genre on tour.

Artsreach’s latest production is a ‘genre-busting farcical comedy’ called Done to Death, By Jove, dubbed a theatrical ‘whodunnit’.

A spokesman for Artsreach said: “Created and performed by Gavin Robertson and Nicholas Collett, Done to Death, By Jove has self-proclaimed itself as the British detective genre gone wrong.

“This genre-busting farcical comedy is packed with clichés from the detective genre, featuring lords and ladies, shady servants, secrets, motives and cunning detective work. Expect a whirlwind of fast costume changes and misdirected acting hiccups in a show where even the set’s gone missing.”

Catch the show at Wootton Fitzpaine village hall on February 17 (call 01297 560948 for tickets), Marnhull village hall on February 18, and Corfe Castle village hall on February 19. For tickets see artsreach.co.uk
