Cluedo 2 is heading to Norwich Theatre Royal from July 2 to 6 2024 and it stars Ellie Leach as Miss Scarlett.

She said: "This is my first stage play and I am very excited to be playing Miss Scarlett.

"It is nerve-wracking as it is something completely different to TV, but I really want to push myself out of my comfort zone."

As the bodies pile up, colourful characters move from room to room trying to escape the murderer and survive the night.

Cluedo 2 follows the success of the original play, which came to Norwich in 2022, and it is a completely new story so if you missed the first one it does not matter.
