Done to Death by Jove presented by Nicholas and Collett Productions from Hastings England, at the Orlando International Fringe Festival, is a Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie mash up featuring a cast of 6. However, 4 of the cast along with sets are stuck in traffic on I-4.
The two English actors who were left did there best to play all the parts. When Watson had to change into the part of a woman be speared thick lipstick around his mouth because he could not see back stage.
A laptop computer gave all the sound cues for the show but neither actor was familiar with how the program worked, so sound cues fell off the tracks. Quick costume changes, of which there were many, were done behind a thin metal costume rack. The audience could see the costume changes a happening but the actors requested that no one look.
When there were supposed to be more than 2 actors in a scene they used hats to stand in for the missing actors. The show was fast paced and hilarious. I loved every minute as I laughed my head off.
Tickets are $15. The final show is tonight, Sunday May 25 at 7:40pm. It really is a fun romp.
