"The Cook Did It!" Comes to Wincanton on 3rd November

For 2012, The Fringe Files chose whodunit parody The Cook Did It! written by playwright Michael Starr. Following the recent opening at the Woking Drama Festival, the two-time nominated comedy will step on stage at Wincanton Memorial Hall on Saturday 3rd November.

The Plot

The once thriving Old Barn Country Hotel plays host to an unwanted spate of sinister deaths. However, nobody is convicted, public interest quickly wanes and the cases are filed away as unsolved. Cue Jenkins, a local video store clerk and keen amateur detective, who believes he has unravelled a pattern linking the victims.

Jenkins undertakes the task of identifying the killer armed with notes written on a collection of multi-coloured post-it pads. Unfortunately events soon take a turn for the worse and suspicion becomes rife amongst the guests. Suddenly everybody has something to hide, except the cook, who's really nice.

The Team

For this production, The Fringe Files welcome new members: Ian Tapner, Gordon Watson, Jenny Ball, Nathalie Eeckhout, Adam Holland and Lauren Bowen. Original members Michael Starr, Arianne Wolodarsky and Quintin Mitchell all return, along with Californian based artist Jeff Haas.

The Fringe Files will be designing (and using for the first time) a brand new purpose built touring set. Much of the multimedia will also be brought in-house following significant investment and focus on self-sustainability.
