Death of the Human Resource (UTT2)
death of the human resource (under the table 2)
Winner of the Darwin Fringe Festival Theatre Award 2024!
The HR Department of a firm has been murdered. Or at least, that’s what we think happened. We’d prove it, if only we could find the body… How can two hapless detectives possibly uncover a mystery in a huge office building that holds so many lies and incompetent staff?
Thankfully, the dependable Sergeant Melpo and his distractable sidekick Officer Thalia are on the case. But it won’t be easy. They have nothing to rely on but some sturdy handcuffs and a lie-detector machine that thinks it knows best.
“Death of the Human Resource” is an hilarious murder-mystery brought to you by the team that watched “Knives Out” in cinemas and read a few Agatha Christie novels in high school. It’s fun, fast-paced, and will keep you guessing right up to the final moments.
It’s set in a workplace, so bring your work buddies. Hopefully this side-splitting play will inspire you not to kill your HR rep. Or at least, to hide the body properly.
This play is a pseudo-sequel to the 2022 award-winning murder-mystery comedy “Under the Table” and is brought to you by Big Dog Salad and friends, exclusively for Darwin Fringe Festival!
This play was proudly produced with the support of the Australian Government's Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia.
