The Mystery of Edwin Drood

A musical by Rupert Holmes
Produced by Joseph Papp
Original Broadway production produced by The New York Shakespeare Festival
February 1st – 10th, 2013
Fred Thury Studio Theatre, 258 Vanier College
This wildly warm-hearted theatrical experience kicks off when the Music Hall Royale, a hilariously loony Victorian musical troupe, "puts on" its flamboyant rendition of an unfinished Dickens mystery. When Edwin Drood disappears mysteriously one stormy Christmas Eve, one has to wonder if he has been murdered. And if so, then whodunnit?
The giddy playfulness of this play-within-a-play draws the audience toward one of Drood's most talked-about features, which allows the audience to vote on the solution as prelude to the most unusual and hilarious finale!
