About Playing Haus at Theatre Works
Whodunnits' are such a drag... an original, sinful murder mystery by VILE Production Company.
Teddy and Lorelai Cuck have it all - a beautiful manor, a faithful old maid, an abundance of wealth and a lustful relationship. They're gluttons, cheats and fetishists with no remorse whatsoever for their hedonistic lifestyle. However, things take a sinister turn for the worse when a spunky young plumber comes to the manor to give the place a fix-up, just in time for an anonymous body to mysteriously be discovered. Trapped in the illustrious Cuck Manor by a spontaneous, disastrous storm, Teddy, Lorelai, Mishka the maid and Ace Plumbing must apprehensively work together to get to the bottom of the mystery and find whodunnit, with their wits about them and their lives intact. There are romances, conspiracies, alliances, and dark secrets decorating the manor and following the motley crew- after all, there's truly never a dull moment at Cuck manor.
A play on the classic murder mystery genre, 'Playing Haus' is an original drag comedy about lust, greed, class and gender. 'Playing Haus' is a modern twist on classic queer stories with an emphasis on camp and satire. Theatrical, sexy, gory and absurd, this whodunnit is a burlesque, drag, black comedy, horror and pantomime show in one, where the culprit and victim are the least important facet of the story.
PLAYING HAUS is the debut show of VILE Production CO. (est. 2025), founded by queer theatre makers and VCA alumni Louisa Cusumano, Ez Kenworthy, Tom Weinert and Sam Morris.
