A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder
Masque Theatre and Milnerton Players
22nd May to 6th June 2026
The Masque and Milnerton Players are excited to present A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
This razor-sharp, brilliantly funny, Tony Award-winning musical comedy is about ambition, inheritance, and just how far one man is willing to go to get what he believes he deserves.
Director: Kyla Thorburn
Musical Director: Barend Van Der Westhuizen
When the charming but penniless Monty Navarro discovers he is eighth in line to inherit the earldom of the wealthy D’Ysquith family, he sets out to improve his prospects - by eliminating the competition. One by one. With style.
Featuring a gloriously witty book, and a deliciously clever score, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder is a fast-paced romp full of elegant mayhem, dark humour, and delightful surprises. A murderously good time awaits.
