Dunedin Fringe Festival: DOUBLE FEATURE: The Remarkable Case Of and A Bard's Tale – twice the comedy!
Friday, 13th March 2026 6:30 PM
Larnach Castle, 145 Camp Road, Pukehiki
Double feature: A murder mystery with a twist and the greatest play Shakespeare NEVER wrote all in one night.
A mysterious case of murder most foul is visited upon the great halls of Larnach Castle! Join our author as he writes the latest book in his series, The Remarkable Case Of, where he takes you back to 1947's England and his world famous sleuth solves the crime in this hilarious murder mystery with a twist. The twist is you see the ending of the novel first and then we go back to the beginning and see how it all unfolds, with the same ending performed again an hour later. Did we mention that this page turner is fully improvised by our cast of colourful characters?
A Bard's Tale – the greatest play Shakespeare NEVER wrote. The cast performs an unscripted play in the style of Shakespeare so full of wit and whimsy that even the bard himself would take delight! This mind-boggling show has been performed at the Hawai'i Improv Festival and the Pop Up Globe in Auckland.
“An impressive feat in improvised performance. Well worth a watch!” – Theatreview
