East West Theatre presents:
the astonishing pick-a-path mystery of the sinister circus murders
Exit 2nd Banana
About the play
Exit Second Banana is an interactive murder mystery set in a circus during the 1930s. It incorporates elements of slap-stick, and vaudeville with noir style dialogue.
Based on a concept by two New Zealand playwrights, Ross MacLeod and David Foote, the text of the play was devised by the original cast and first performed in 2006 in Hamilton, NZ, then toured regionally within the Waikato. It has since been performed by the National Youth Theatre of New Zealand in 2009 and by Te Aroha Little Theatre in 2011. This East West production will be its Chinese Premiere.
Six potential victims, six potential murders, eight possible endings. Whodunnit? You Decide!
