THE UK premiere tour of the new play Cluedo is about to arrive in Southampton, starring former EastEnders and Coronation Street favourite Michelle Collins.

She will play Miss Scarlett in the brand new comedy thriller, based on the classic Hasbro detective board game loved by generations and the hit 1985 Paramount film Clue.

Michelle told the Daily Echo: "Miss Scarlett is one of the most iconic characters, along with Colonel Mustard and Professor Plum maybe, which makes it more difficult to play.

"Me and my sister would go and stay with my five cousins and we would all fight for that part but because I’m the bossy one, I would always get it.

"I think because of lockdown people have gone back to board games, just to be together really."

When Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs Peacock, Reverend Green, Mrs White and Colonel Mustard arrive at a country house one dark and stormy evening, they are surprised to find they have all received the same intriguing invitation from Lord Boddy.

Daily Echo:

It soon becomes clear that they all have something to hide as the mystery and hysteria grows and the inhabitants and guests of Boddy Manor are killed off one by one, with a variety of familiar weapons, leaving everyone to wonder, who will be next!

This hilarious spoof of a thriller, will keep you guessing right up to the finale as both the guests and audience try to work out whodunnit…. with what... and where!

Tickets for Cluedo, which runs from Tuesday (May 17) to Saturday (May 21) are on sale at mayflower.org.uk or 02380 711811.
