THE MYSTERY OF THE MONSTERS' BIG BALL

 

Written by Mal & Jenny Tibbitts

This original production brings mystery, comedy, music and a little bit of horror into an interactive Cabaret Show.  

 

Act 1 sets the scene and introduces the audience to the main characters.  The Mistress is both evil and seductive and has a thirst for human flesh.  She and her servant Quasi, physically challenged by his enormous hump, manage a creepy hotel that has seen better days.  A visit by the famous Detective Shylock Bones and his colleague Doctor Watsup cannot be a coincidence.  Nor can the presence of the other guests at the Hotel – a Lord and Lady who may be up to no good.  Act 1 is followed by the main meal.    

 

Act 2 focuses on building the relationship between the main characters and to build on the premise of the upcoming Monsters’ Ball.  Act 2 is followed by dessert. 

 

Act 3 sees the mysteries unravelled, together with the outrageous “Monsters’ Ball”.
