"The Mystery of Edwin Drood" is based off Dickens' last, unfinished novel that is a whodunit-style musical.

StageAgent.com give the following synopsis of the play:

"In small town of Chesterham, England, the young and charming Edwin Drood has been mysteriously murdered. But by whom? His leering romantic rival, John Jasper? The infamous purveyor of opium and vice, Princess Puffer? The mysterious Landless twins, newly arrived from Ceylon? Or someone else even more dastardly and villainous? Dickens passed away before he was able to reveal the culprit. Rupert Holmes’ award-winning musical solves this predicament by asking the audience to choose which character is the killer by putting it to a vote."

The performances will be held in the Conestoga High School Hobson C. Wagner Auditorium.
