Birmingham Rep in Centenary Square, Birmingham
A woman dressed as a Judge sits at a desk in a courtroom. She is looking out at the camera, she is holding a gavel in her right hand and a mobile phone in her left hand. She is also wearing fairy wings. Next to her, resting on the desk are a drink, a gold microphone and an open newspaper, the headline reads Humpty Dumpty Found Dead, Was It A Great Fall?

An egg is dead – was he pushed, did he jump, or was it simply a great fall?

Enter Jill, a filmmaker with big dreams and an ever bigger problem: she’s on trial for eggicide. With B.B. Wolf defending her, Little Red out for blood and a courtroom messier than Jack and Jill’s tumble down that hill, this case is gripping the nation

Tabloid media, conspiracy theorists and familiar fairy-tale faces collide in The Uncrackable Case – a wild, hilarious musical that’s part courtroom comedy, part murder mystery and part musical fever dream. Think the gloriously ridiculous lovechild of Shrek, Knives Out and Anatomy of a Fall.

Murder, mystery, and a pail full of trouble – fresh from a smash-hit Edinburgh Fringe run, The Uncrackable Case is coming to a courtroom near you.
