The Uncrackable Case

Presented by Lawrence Batley Theatre and Front Room Productions
£24.50
City Varieties Music Hall
A woman in a judge's outfit and sparkling fairy wings, holding a gavel in one hand and a smartphone in the other. In a courtroom, she is sat at a desk with a newspaper, coffee cup and golden microphone.

An egg is dead – was he pushed, did he jump, or was it simply a great fall?

Enter Jill, a filmmaker with big dreams and an ever bigger problem: she’s on trial for eggicide. With B.B. Wolf defending her, Little Red out for blood and a courtroom messier than Jack and Jill’s tumble down that hill, this case is gripping the nation.

Tabloid media, conspiracy theorists and familiar fairy-tale faces collide in The Uncrackable Case – a wild, hilarious musical that’s part courtroom comedy, part murder mystery and part musical fever dream. Think the gloriously ridiculous lovechild of Shrek, Knives Out and Anatomy of a Fall.

Murder, mystery, and a pail full of trouble – fresh from a smash-hit Edinburgh Fringe run, The Uncrackable Case is coming to a courtroom near you.
