Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: Death by Deckchair

When murders pile up onboard a cruise ship, only one woman can find the culprit… The iconic Miss Phryne Fisher shimmies onto the stage for the first time in this glittering world premiere production written by Deb Cox, co-creator of the original hit series with Fiona Eagger. Starring Amber McMahon ( Accidental Death of an Anarchist ), this is Miss Fisher quite literally as you have never seen her before. It’s 1929, and Kerry Greenwood’s chic lady detective is sailing to the South Seas on a cruise when a murder, a jewel robbery and rumours of a mysterious curse throw the ship’s crew and passengers into a state of uproar. While Miss Fisher is more than happy to mix crime with cocktails and pleasure cruising, handsome Detective Inspector Jack Robinson finds himself drawn into the mystery – and way too much dancing – whether he likes it or not. Dodging danger at every turn while running circles around her suspects, Miss Fisher meets a light-fingered academic, a honeymooning magician and the dissolute heir to a newspaper fortune. Think Knives Out , only with cloche hats and fox stoles. McMahon brings glamour, cheek and a healthy dose of razor-sharp wit to a high-seas adventure that hurtles between the upper and lower decks. Is it possible the mystery is tied not only to class divisions, but to the Titanic itself? Directed by Queensland Theatre Company Artistic Director Daniel Evans, and co-produced with Queensland Theatre Company and Jones Theatrical Group with Every Cloud Productions, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries: Death by Deckchair brings the jazz age to sumptuous theatrical life.
