– There’s a New Sheriff In Town –
Yeehaw! Damian will be rollin’ into the Wild West as one of the celebrity guest Sheriffs for the return of Park Theatre’s star-studded fundraiser Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] 4; back with more murder, mayhem, and this time, a touch of musical mischief.
This is Park Theatre’s most ambitious yet, with a company of actors, musicians and a live saloon pianist bringing the world to life, and the audience gets to join in the singalongs too!
Welcome to Graveside, a dusty frontier town where the saloon and the general store look suspiciously similar, gold fever is running high, and (hobby) horses roam free. There’s stolen treasure, suspicious strangers, and a Reverend who may not practice what he preaches. The audience will see Park Theatre transformed into an immersive world for the first time, taking over the entire building from the street outside to the bars, foyers and both auditoria.
With each performance a different celebrity becomes the new Sheriff in town – completely unrehearsed, armed only with an earpiece and their wits. And yes, Sir Ian McKellen returns to lend his voice to the chaos.
Newly announced guest Sheriffs include Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Damian Lewis, Simon Pegg, Meera Syal and Jodie Whittaker.
Previously announced guest Sheriffs include Gillian Anderson, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Bonneville, Adrian Dunbar and Emma Thompson.
They join Whodunnit debutants Anne-Marie Duff, Toby Jones, Katherine Parkinson, Sara Pascoe, Iwan Rheon, Gaby Roslin, Gary Wilmot, Suzi Ruffell and Munya Chawawa.
Returning Whodunnit alumni also include Amanda Abbington, Clive Anderson, Gyles Brandreth, Michelle Collins, Nina Conti, David Haig, Harry Hill, Adam Hills, Russell Kane, Matt Lucas, Gareth Malone, Gabriel Macht, Al Murray, Dermot O’Leary, Tamzin Outhwaite, Clarke Peters, Rob Rinder, Rhashan Stone, Bradley Walsh, Olivia Williams, Marcus Brigstocke and Greg Wise.
The event runs from May 9 – June 27, 2026. Get your tickets now!
