Year 9 & 10 Theatre Studies Class Play: How to Get Away with a Murder Mystery 

Five mysterious colour-coded guests. A mansion. A murder. Can the killer get away with it? And how will the sleuths bring them to justice? A handy guide for how to escape the law when you just happen to be a prime suspect of a mysterious murder. This play hilarious skewers the tropes of a murder mystery: an airtight alibi, a long-winded monologue by a detective with an accent, an impossibly complicated murder device? Check, check and check! 

Ms Allen’s Middle School theatre studies and technologies students have been busy planning, rehearsing and designing for their class play ‘How to Get Away with a Murder Mystery.’ Students are responsible for the directing, acting and design of the production, with the year 9 theatre technologies students taking on a purely design role behind the scenes to ensure the lighting, sound, set, costume and props all work together to enhance the comedy of this farcical parody. 

Keep your eyes peeled for a Try Booking link to secure your free seats to see their hard work pay off in the public performance in Week 10!
