Best friends for life Kathy (played by Bronté Barbé) and Stella (Rebekah Hinds) are the murder-obsessed hosts of Yorkshire’s least successful true crime podcast. But things are not going well… their careers are non-existent, their families are worried sick and their favourite crime author has just been killed… So, of course, they decide that this is just the opportunity they’ve been waiting for: it’s time to solve a crime.
It’s not easy though… with no experience and armed with only their Twitter feeds, their ‘murder gang’ of limited online devotees… but, hey, solving murders can’t be all that difficult? Can they crack the case (and become global podcast superstars) before the killer strikes again…?
Bronté Barbé and Rebekah Hinds are outstandingly good (and both have great voices, which blend together perfectly) and the other five supporting actors are also of the highest calibre.
All in all, a REALLY enjoyable whodunnit evening of silliness, fun and quality… in front of a packed enthusiastic Old Vic audience.
PS: The actor Bronté Barbé has actually been staying at Hannah+Fee’s house during the production run.
PPS: Last night’s production included captions for the hard of hearing… which was somewhat ironic for us (Moira had lost one of hearing aids earlier that morning and one of mine had stopped working!!).
