About Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] 4
In each performance, a different celebrity will become the new sheriff in charge - completely unrehearsed. Armed only with an earpiece feeding them lines moments before they speak, each guest must attempt to solve the murder, survive the mayhem and keep the show on track.
This year, the show takes place in the lawless Wild West town of Graveside: complete with a saloon, sheriffs and cowboys, gold fever and stolen treasure, mysterious strangers, and a reverend who may not practice what he preaches. The Park Theatre will transform into a fully immersive world, taking over the entire building for the first time, from the street outside to the bars, foyers and both auditoria.
Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] 4 is a vital fundraiser for Park Theatre, which receives no regular public subsidy.
The Sheriffs
This year, the new sheriffs making their Whodunnit debuts will be Anne-Marie Duff, Toby Jones, Katherine Parkinson, Sara Pascoe, Simon Pegg, Iwan Rheon, Gaby Roslin, Gary Wilmot, Suzi Ruffell and Munya Chawawa. They will be joining returning but newly announced Whodunnit alumni Amanda Abbington, Clive Anderson, Gyles Brandreth, Michelle Collins, Nina Conti, Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, David Haig, Harry Hill, Adam Hills, Russell Kane, Matt Lucas, Gareth Malone, Gabriel Macht, Al Murray, Dermot O'Leary, Tamzin Outhwaite, Clarke Peters, Rob Rinder, Rhashan Stone, Meera Syal, Bradley Walsh, Jodie Whittaker, Olivia Williams, Marcus Brigstocke and Greg Wise.
