Murder on Mondays explores curse of Macbeth
Murder on Mondays was based on the various theatre myths and superstitions that surround Macbeth.
COMEDY show, Murder on Mondays, will run at Seabrooke’s Theatre, Durban High School, from 9 to 18 July.
Murder on Mondays is a dark comedy, written by Mikhale Singh, directed by Preven Reddy and produced by Saná Siddiqi and Mikhale Singh, which focuses on a struggling theatre company and their attempts to put on a production of Macbeth.
The story follows eccentric director, Thandeka Dlamini (better known as Cristina Riley to her staff) and her lazy-but-lovable assistant, Sarah Murphy, on their journey to putting one of Shakespeare’s greatest works on stage, despite anything and everything going wrong.
Aside from their financial woes and various superstitions, they must contend with a cast of comically diverse misfits, rumors of a curse and the vengeful ghost of Macbeth that could be haunting the production, and if it couldn't get any worse, someone is slowly killing off the cast, one by one. Is it one of their own or is there more to the curse than meets they eye?
Join bumbling Inspector Maharaj on his undercover mission to hunt down the Monday murderer and uncover the truth behind the curse of Macbeth.
Murder on Mondays was based on the various theatre myths and superstitions that surround Macbeth, and how these supernatural issues would have an effect on a company who already has to deal with various real life theatre struggles.
