Packing an Agatha Christie-like drawing room mystery into a two-person show, Murder for Two offers up an evening of criminally entertaining musical comedy.
MUSIC: Griff returns to Australia with a show that delivers what the fans wantstands ready to unleash an evening of criminally entertaining musical comedy on unsuspecting audiences.– the kind of irresistibly silly homage that production offered to a bygone age of American musical theatre, this one devotes to the classic murder mystery.
Bolt and Newman make an electric comedy duo. She’s short, he’s tall; she’s a solid “straight man”, he’s a physical comedy sensation, contorting body and features into exaggerated buffoonery, specialising in feminine caricature.The hare-brained plot might have a few screws loose, but the performances fit together perfectly.
What’s missing is an edge, something to set her apart from the hordes of other similar musicians playing similar shows to similar crowds. Judging by the feeling of euphoria in the room, though, the fans got exactly what they came for.The two playwrights also share a need to remove the bourgeois blinkers that constrain our theatre, and a concern for how gender and class raised her two sons alone. She became pregnant with Boy as a teenager and had his younger brother Doug nearly a decade later.
