A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is Lighthouse Festival’s 2025 Community Show!

It’s like a delightfully twisted game of Clue, but instead of figuring out who the murderer is, you’re cheering them on! Set in Edwardian England, this witty musical comedy centres around Monty Navarro, a penniless chap who discovers he’s ninth in line to inherit a posh title and a fortune. Of course, there’s a small hiccup – eight family members stand in his way. So, what’s an ambitious fellow to do? Well, murder, obviously, but in the most charming, creative, and downright hilarious ways possible!

Monty’s problem-solving techniques are less “whodunit” and more “whodone-it-again,” as he systematically (but oh-so-politely) bumps off his distant relatives, all while keeping his love life as complicated as humanly possible. He’s juggling two women: Sibella, who’s more interested in status than love, and Phoebe, who’s pure-hearted and ready to make Monty her own gentleman. But love, murder, and climbing the social ladder don’t mix easily – especially when they’re happening all at once!

Throw in the fact that we’ve got a host of incredibly versatile actors playing eight doomed family members, from the doddering old Lord to the slightly-too-eccentric Lady, and you’ve got a recipe for non-stop laughs, tasteful (and tasteless) music, with plenty of sharp wit and slapstick to boot.

Perfect for fans of dark humour, quirky characters, and murderously good fun, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder proves that in the race for wealth and love, sometimes you have to get your hands a little dirty – while keeping your manners impeccable, of course!
