Review: 'The Curse of the Hopeless Diamond' by Castle Craig Players

Meriden, CT - The Castle Craig Players, based at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, is presenting a very funny audience participation murder mystery titled ‘The Curse of the Hopeless Diamond.’ The mystery written by Eileen Moushey is presented cabaret style with table seating where patrons can eat and drink while they try to solve the whodunit. The fun event runs through next weekend and tickets are still available for all three remaining performances.

Nick Demetriades returned to this stage in the role of a Sherlock Holmes inspired Basil Benchley. Cheryl Harnois is a founding member of Castle Craig and appeared in the role of detective Kelly Boggs. And then there was the inimitable Wesley Tack in the role of a detective who is also a master of disguise named Harry Dinker. This young actor has been in virtually every show I have reviewed at this venue and he was clearly in his element in this little show, no matter what costume he was wearing.

Coming up at Castle Craig Players is ‘The Marvelous Wonderettes’ featuring Emma Czaplinski, Chelsea Dacey, Jennifer Del Sole and Jessica Engster May 5-14 and ‘Monty Python’s Spamalot’ this summer.
