Death by Chocolate, directed by Vanessa Baylen, Dransfield House, reviewed by Lynn Freeman

DEATH by Chocolate is not for the nervous audience goer who just wants to watch a show, nor for anyone with high cholesterol.
This is a living Cluedo with chocolate, laced with poison as the weapon, and instead of cards you get to talk to all the suspects and go through their handbags. The premise is that we’re new detectives undergoing our final exams, under the watchful eye of our supervisors.
It’s a big call for the actors having to face a barrage of questions from chocolate-hyped strangers intent on solving the crime. Those of us who’ve watched too much Poirot and Sherlock Holmes take it all very seriously.
Of course I voted for the person least likely, but here’s the catch. You find out via the website at the end of the season.
