Beginning Nov. 1, Bristol Riverside Theatre (BRT) will present “Clue” by Sandy Rustin, a staged adaptation based on the popular board game-turned-cult classic film.
The show will be performed at BRT’s theater, 120 Radcliffe St., Bristol, which combines the excitement of a large stage production with the intimacy of a 300-seat theater. “Clue,” directed by BRT’s Co-Producing Director Ken Kaissar, runs through Nov. 20.
“Clue offers audiences a spooky murder-mystery with hilarious dialogue and physical comedy, and is the perfect entertainment to lighten our moods as we head into the holiday season,” he said.
Seven guests, under different aliases, are invited to an unusual dinner party on a dark and stormy night at Boddy Manor, only to discover that the host is dead upon their arrival. The zany group of would-be suspects must race to reveal the identity of the murderer before the body count stacks up in this classic whodunnit.
The cast includes notable actors from the tri-state area, highlighted by Philadelphia favorite and multiple Barrymore Award-winner Ian Merrill Peakes as Wadsworth the Butler.
Each of BRT’s productions offer special pre- and post-show engagements, included with the price of the ticket. The Nov. 3 performance is followed by a catered reception. At the Friday Festival (Nov. 4), BRT patrons can enjoy complimentary beer and appetizers. On the second Wednesday of “Clue” (Nov. 9), the evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with Wine Down Wednesday, where audiences are served crudité, desserts, and wine. The third Thursday (Nov. 17), known as Thirsty Thursday, includes an hour of complimentary snacks and beer.
Tickets for “Clue” are available online or by calling 215-785-0100.
