Description

The latest chapter in the theatrical saga of ex-detective Richard P Cooper, who now finds himself sucked into a time-bending sci-fi caper! In an impromptu trip to the future, Richard learns about the horrors of an evil empire founded by his canine nemesis, Mr Fluffington. Richard and his allies must go on a mission to the past to prevent its uprising, culminating in an epic kerfuffle spanning thousands of years, with the fate of all of history at stake! 'No timeline is too sacred, and no sci-fi reference is too far-fetched' **** (LostInTheatreland.co.uk).

Another cracking episode in the Defective Inspector series which takes us in to time travel territory. More quirky characters, fictional and real in addition to the regular suspects. Even more cleverly written dialogue and madcap humour from the superb ensemble. Don't miss it! Another 5 stars from me!

Must see show! Hilarious, fast paced and truly innovative. Didn’t see anything else like it at the fringe - a laugh a minute from start to finish. The entire cast were amazing and full of energy throughout, 5 stars!!

That was incredible! Perfect mayhem, a joke every second, a show that went everywhere through time and through a million scenes and times and characters - and somehow all polished to perfection! How do you do it? Incredible! 5 stars

Raucous fun - cast were all superb, Eva Braun was a particular highlight which I never thought I'd say! Was promised Garth Marenghi-esc fun by one of the cast members on the mile and it more than lived up to the billing.

5 stars! Very funny high energy play with a great bunch of characters played by a talented ensemble. If the Play Went Wrong crew did a detective thriller it would look something like this.

Fast paced, fun and ridiculous (in the best way). A hilarious comedy lead by the superb Harrison Cole which had me laughing the whole way through! Congrats to all involved ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The SMU Reviews (4/5 stars) 117 days ago

Standout performances come from Daniel Hemsley as Chip the cockney cyborg, and Ellie Church in a scene stealing, scenery chewing turn as a boozy and bonkers Eva Braun. Oh, and there is a tyrannical, three legged, talking dog. What more could you want?

Fernyhough Arts Review (4/5 stars) 117 days ago

The 4 person ensemble cast is splendid, with Harrison Cole portraying the shows lead with deadpan noir gusto. Meanwhile, director Shannon Fox keeps the action and decade hopping high jinx flowing at an enjoyably brisk pace.
