Whodunnit? Find out as Cluedo is brought to a Peterborough stage, plus music, ballet and more to enjoy in the city over the next seven days.

Peterborough Playgoers: Cluedo at the Key Theatre Studio until Saturday

On a dark and stormy night, six enigmatic guests are summoned to a secluded mansion for a dinner party with deadly secrets on the guest list. When their host is found murdered, suspicion grips the house and everyone has something to hide. With the clock ticking and accusations flying, the ever‑resourceful butler Wadsworth leads Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard through a maze of lies, alibis and unexpected twists. As bodies begin to pile up, alliances shift and nerves fray.

Caroline: A New Musical

New Theatre until Saturday

Caroline dreams of something more than stacking shelves at the local greengrocers. Her days are routine, but her nights come alive, walking the pier, sharing laughs with her best friend Mary, and spinning records with Robbie, her music-mad boyfriend who’s big on charm but short on direction. But a music revolution is coming, and Robbie lands a shock gig with Radio Caroline.
