It’s The Suburban
Murder.

Welcome to Stillhaven Close.

Amy Douglas, local boarder, babysitter and university graduate, has been found brutally murdered on a typically well-manicured lawn within the quiet community. The circumstances of this terrible crime are an apparent mystery. As the police and the media investigate, the longburied secrets of this serene suburban street quickly rise to the surface, sending fingers pointing in all directions. If a pretty young woman was slain in your street, what would your neighbours say about you?

Who killed Amy Douglas?

A mammoth cast of 18 actors bring this chillingly entertaining play to life at one of Auckland’s oldest performance venues: Galatos. The grand old building at 17 Galatos Street, behind K’ Road, was once home to Theatre Corporate – a company who many consider to be the mothers and fathers of Auckland theatre. The Outfit are excited about continuing this tradition of excellence.
