Butlers & Botox at the Artscape

From the madcap mind of writer/director Justin Wilkinson comes the hilarious follow up to last year's sold-out comedy hit “Butlers & Brandy”! The show has recently returned from the National Arts Festival in Grahamtown where it enjoyed a complete sell-out run with rave reviews - as well as being listed as one of the TOP 3 SELLING SHOWS on the Festival Fringe!
Butlers & Botox at the Artscape

This time round, the audiene is introduced to another wealthy family - including husband and wife duo - David and Claire Wright - who, of course, each have their own hidden agendas. Throw in Claire's rather ditsy twin sister, Audrey and David's Benoni-style buddy, Harry - as well as the enticing prospect of a claim to a huge inheritance - and you have all the ingredients for a classic murder-mystery in the making!

The shenanigans all start when Claire - a wealthy fashion designer - invites her friends over for a fancy dress evening in the hopes of disguising her recently bungled Botox operation. Before long, however, people begin to die mysteriously and it seems as though ANYONE could be a suspect...

With biting wit and comical antics, this humorous take on the classic murder-mystery is a highly entertaining 'whodunnit' that'll keep audiences guessing until the final reveal! What makes this production even more enjoyable is that the AUDIENCE gets to decide throughout the show what they want to see happen next!

Featuring an award-winning cast who each play a variety of quirky characters, it's a wickedly, witty comedy that's to die for!
