The Mr Misty Mystery

The Mr Misty Mystery is a very good vehicle for Amateur Theatre with four strong female characters at the centre of the story as an unlikely group of criminals plotting an art theft and an amusing twist in the plot. The roles do provide good opportunities for the actresses to show a range of reactions and body language as they recruit the personnel, plan the crime, face the consequences, and reveal the truth. It is well paced with enough amusing moments and confrontational exchanges to keep us engaged throughout.

Twyford Drama’s staging was very simple and effective with a clever and efficient transformation from the apartment into the police station and back again.  The cast showed very good acting skills with great physicality and body language to develop their characters and show their reactions to each interaction. It was a very enjoyable light-hearted caper, a sort of modern-day Ealing comedy Lavender Hill mob!

This was a most enjoyable first visit to Twyford Drama with a well staged and acted production and a good full house.
