NO CLUE


One of my first original projects for Bellarmine, was writing No Clue a slapstick comedy based on the board game “Clue.”

It required an empty stage with just a few movable furniture pieces such as a desk, chairs, benches, and a table. Two actors played the main two characters and four others played a variety of different characters.

Costumes and props were essential for this play and a specific acting style and look based on 1940s film noir was used as the main concept.

As playwright and director, I had the opportunity to make changes to the script as necessary and to also dictate the look of the entire production.
