Death Drop, Back In The Habit by Rob Evans, created by Christopher D Clegg
Directed by Jesse Jones
Produced by Tucksop & Trafalgar Theatre Productions
At Curve til Saturday 21st January 2023
“This is a murder mystery with a twist. It’s hilarious!”
Imagine, if you will, a mash-up of Sister Act and Agatha Christie via Monty Python and Comic Strip and you will have some idea of the hilarious chaos Death Drop, Back In The Habit conjures up with four alumni of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK. The queens are ably assisted in their mayhem by Drag King Louis Cyfer.
The plot, such as it is, involves Father Alfie Romeo (Louis Cyfer) being despatched to the eerie and spooky Convent of St Babs where Mother Superior (Victoria Scone) rules over her three nuns, Sister Mary Berry (Cheryl Hole), Sister Maria Julieandrews (River Medway) and Sis Titis (Kitty Scott-Claus). There have been rumours of all sorts of goings-on and the disappearance of the previous priest sent to investigate. Father Romeo is tasked with getting to the bottom of the mysteries.
With lots of bad language, single entendres and loads of cultural references this is a side splitting script that will keep any broad minded audience rolling in the aisles.
This show is not for the faint hearted but, if you love the bawdy drag shows you see on holiday and are a fan of Ru Paul then this is for you. This is a murder mystery with a twist. It’s hilarious!
Death Drop is at Curve until Saturday 21st January. Grab a ticket and brighten up a dull post Christmas period.
