Opening night performances are not meant to be flawless. Performers should be ironing out their characters, finding their voice and hoping the lighting and sound technicians respond to the secret language of the actors brave enough to shed their skin before a fresh audience.
Watching a No Strings show is always a journey, and a pact between audience and company where we are asked to peel away our layers, accept discomfort and emerge with a sense of connection and question seeking.

Seeing Cluedo at Her Majesty’s Theatre is like catching up with your favourite old friends. It doesn’t matter how long it is since you last saw them, you just know you’re going to have fun. And that’s the great charm of this touring production – it is just pure, unapologetic fun, delivered with a cheeky wink and tons of enthusiasm. Yes, it’s a classic ‘whodunnit’ based on the popular board game, but really it’s less about the murder mystery and more about the old-school comedy.
There’s an energy in Gluttony that’s hard to replicate. It’s palpable. It’s collision of people, shows, food, music and movement.
